Honey Im a Big Boy Now — текст песни (Billy Bragg)

I can see the kitchen light

From the road where I park my bike

But its dark there as it often is these days

And the gloomy living room

Really needs a dust and a broom

But I cant brush your memory away



Her father was an admiral

In someone elses navy

And she had seen the world before I met her

She would wash and cook and clean

And all the other things between

And like a fool I just sat there and let her



Chorus:

Now I can feed and wash and dress myself

And I can sleep without the light on

Honey, Im a big boy now

I dont know what she does with all the money that I sent her

Shes running round the town with the young pretender



I havent touched the garden

Since the day she walked away

From a love affair that bore only bitter fruit

She took everything she wanted

Which is why she left me here

With these pots and pans and my old wedding suit



A letter came one morning

That she would not let me see

And from that day I began to realise

That she would one day break

The home we tried to make

For sinners cannot live in paradise
