XTC "Punch & Judy" |
Gather 'round!Punch and Judy did it trulyAnd were married in a hasteIn love, maybe, using the babyAs a kind of romance pasteShe's grown fatter, her hair cut shorterLooks much older than nineteenHe's a drinker, not a thinkerBaby spoiled his could-have-beenThis must be make-believeThis must be make-believeThis must be make-believe'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?Punch and JudyPunch and Judy, in a semiOn a brand new council plotSunday lunchtime, beer-for-punch timeWhile his dinner's far from hotShe grows tired, cab is hiredShe goes 'round to see her friendHe comes back late, fool is irateWe will see his temper bendThis must be make-believeThis must be make-believeThis must be make-believe'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that? Punch and Judy in a quandaryShe's walked out and he is madNow he's grown up, can't smash home upRetribution must be hadPunch and Judy had a babyWho brought them to married blissMr. Punch has drunken hunchThat he must punish kid for thisThis must be make-believeThis must be make-believeThis must be make-believe'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?Punch and Judy Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
