Narrator There's a girl inside the woman Who's waiting to get free She's washed a million dishes She's always making tea
They think she's just a mother With nothing left inside Who swapped her dreams for drudgery The day she was a bride But the dreams were not forgotten Just wrapped, and packed away In the hope that she could take them out And dust them off one day
Linda Hello. could I talk to councillor lyons, please?
Narrator There's a girl inside the woman And the mother she became And half-remembered song comes to her lips again
Linda Eddie, could I talk to you? yeh, I remember.
Narrator The girl would sing the melody But the woman stands in doubt And wonders what the price would be For letting the young girl out
Mrs johnstone It's just a light romance It's nothing cruel They had no plans How it came Who can explain? They just said "hello" And foolishly gazed They should have gone Their separate ways
It's just the same old song Nothing cruel, nothing wrong It's just two fools Who know the rules But break them all And grasp at half a chance To play their part In a light romance
Living on the never never, Constant as the changing weather, Never sure Who's as the door, Or the price You're gonna have to pay
Mrs johnstone It's just a secret glance Across a room A touch of hands
That part too soon That same old tune That always plays And lets them dance as friends Then stand apart As the music ends
Loving on the never never Constant as the changing weather Never sure Who's at the door Or the price you're gonna have to pay Mickey...
