A Wife Gets in the Way

from My Lovers and I by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Pregnant with me she was distraught
Mumma overdosed tried to abort me
No greater love than your own child
Mother and Dad were proof to the lie
The Greeks saw the sun go round the earth
Copernicus put it in reverse
I say damn to the whole universe
It revolves around me, for better or worse

Jimmy Boyle was a gangster released
I loved him more than a father figure
He was a free and dangerous force
I wanted outlaws not in-laws
I told my woman to give sex up
It’s for animals we can rise above
She knew where my weakness lied
Wanted to marry me, got him on side

CHORUS
A wife gets in the way
I could never be faithful
A wife gets in the way
Watch out I need my space
A wife gets in the way
I’m in love with someone else
I’m in love with someone else
I’m in love with myself!

Love’s a delusion that I’m not under
That one woman differs from another
No greater love in the end
Than the love between two men
Monogamy is a sexual perversion
Me and Jimmy were doing the dirty
In the love triangle I didn’t see
My wife and Jimmy cheatin’ on me

CHORUS
