Mitchell Brothers Alone With The Tv
She could have waited till I got home
Now she’s on the train while I’m on my own
(Chorus)
First thing this morning you ironed my shirt for me
Lunch break we were fighting on the phone
This evening brought back DVDs
But I’m alone with the TV
First thing this morning your head was on my chest
I had to be up early so I left you in the bed
You looked so entising curled under the duvet
But I couldn’t jump back in coz I didn’t wanna b late
U laid there so calmly as I quickly got dressed
And my Armani cardi and shirt they were neatly pressed
I wanted to say bye
but I didn’t wanna wake u up
So I fort id give u a call on my lunch break or sumink
At lunch break I rung you on the house fone but u never
answered so I hung up n rang back on da voda
U were chattin so cosha
But then u started 2 moan luv bout how I neva give u no
time when I’m out non da roads nuff
I couldn’t take all the long talk so I told u please
ease off
I had to push the red button with my thumb coz I was so
peed off
This evening I bought back some Chinese to munch
And I even went n got sum DVD’s to watch
(Chorus)
First thing this morning you ironed my shirt for me
Lunch break we were fighting on the phone
This evening brought back DVDs
But I’m alone with the TV
My head in my hands staring rite at my hairbrush
On the table beside my cup of tea and my toast still
untouched
My fist on the table,
Eyes fixed to the carpet,
Telephone goin off but cant b arsed to even go n answer
it
My head in my hands
Coz I opened up the front door to see if there was any
post there for me on the floor in the porch
My fist on the table coz the letter I just read
in black had just said that u had left with my best
friend
My eyes to the ceiling coz I fort it was all a joke
Until I opened up your wardrobe, no hangers no clothes
My head in my hands
Coz the photo I’m holding is a photo of u and your
f..cking smile
(Chorus)
First thing this morning you ironed my shirt for me
Lunch break we were fighting on the phone
This evening brought back DVDs
But I’m alone with the TV
This evening I had brought back love actually,
coz I fort we had woz actually love
But I cant see your Gucci scarf or your zara gloves
There aint no matt lipgloss or eyeliner n stuff
On the bathroom sink there’s only 1 toothbrush,
there’s only one face wash,
there’s only 1 sponge
On the table by da stove
there’s a note n a biro
I’m tryin 2 chase u on da voda just 2 ask you why doh?
At lunch break I should have listened to your whinin on
the phone
and not bin so impatient or tired of your moaning I
should have told you
We’ll sort it when I get in at 6
And set all our differences by talking it out n shit
First thing this mornin I should have rubbed off
Simone’s, Paula’s and Josephine’s numbers of my phone
If I’d done dat dis mornin you’d b here at home
If I’d done dat dis mornin I wouldn’t b alone!
She could have waited till I got home
Now she’s on the train while I’m on my own
