Even though you think
To push me from the bath into the sink
I can still get clean
From everything obscene
So just pa** me the soap
And I will scrub so hard to have the hope
That one day I'll be free
And flies won't follow me
But if the bath is black
And the soap is old
You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
Try as you might
Everything you've done has been washed out
And you're not coming home to
All this mess undressed
I'll put you to the test just try your best
Put your apron on
I feel it's been too long
Since you last made me laugh
Instead my hands have stuck to you with tar
And I can't get them off
I leave prints on the clock
But if the bath is black
And the soap is old
You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
Try as you might
Everything you've prayed for won't be done until you've paid for all your hours
And you're not coming home tonight
You're not coming home
Tonight
You're not coming home
You're not coming home
'Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old
{tonight}
You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
{you're not coming home}
Try as you might everything you've
{tonight}
Try as you might everything you've
{you're not coming home}
The bath is black and the soap is old
You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
Try as you might
Everything you've prayed for won't be done until you've paid for all your hours
And you're not coming home tonight
