Working Mother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I catch the early shoppers train
Leaves leeds at half past eight
With women who are harrods bound
From headscarfed harrogate
I change my clothes at kings cross
From bland to vivid bait
I'm a working mother earning jam for tea
In a hotel called the harlequin
With carpets that are bald
I offer several services
At least that's what they're called
But there's no real variation on a fifteen minute maul
I'm a working mother hoping to get home
Working mother under cover
Another violent kiss
Working mother pop-up lover
Am i worth more than this?
My husband drove his hgv
Through france and spain
He'd always add 3 extra days
So he could see elaine
They're now in alicante
Where it doesn't even rain
I'm a working mother going home for tea
My alice is a princess
Likes puppies, dolls and pink
Wayne's three years older
Wants his own ice skating rink
One day they'll know
By which time i could be dead from the drink
They're my babies and they need an earning mother
Working mother under cover
Another violent kiss
Working mother pop-up lover
Am i worth more than this?
