Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark Women Iii
It took a lot of reasoning Before she got to pleasing him She made a combination Of despair and inspiration A mother and mistress A sister to her sisters A child who hoped her dreams come true But now she's only stuck with you At least she has a home to share A man who comes to do her hair A garden with a patio A place to have a barbecue The envy of her neighbors Who smile and wave and ask her If they could live for just a day In luxury and ecstasy But it's a long way home From where she's come It's a long way back Too much to ask The trash is in the garbage can The mystery of Wonderland One day she thinks of leaving him The next she treats him like a king She hears it on the radio She sees it on the video She waits until the kids have grown And then she thinks she'll start again But it's a long way home From where she's come It's a long way back Too much to ask Before she gave her friends a ring She promised almost everything They ran away to paradise But everything will have its price From woman number one To woman number two Now she's woman number three And she thinks that she is lucky But it's a long way home From where she's come It's a long way back Too much to ask From X Y Z To Women III
