Paul Kelly & The Messengers I Can't Believe We Were Married
Paul Kelly (Mushroom) We dance in the kitchen on Boxing Day I held you swaying in my arms to Marvin Gaye Our Christmas ham turned green by New Year's Eve We weren't hungry anyway Now sometimes we see each other on the street Maybe at a hotel or some party We say hello then we have to go I can't believe we were married That we were wed Our houses were a shambles, our love conspiracy Your hand was always down my pants before our guests could leave They didn't like our drugs, our children or our dogs The way we made it up each day Now the kids have grown we talk on the phone If one of them is sick or needs some money Our words are dry, so measured and polite I can't believe we were married That we were wed Now maybe if I'm with someone you come into my mind The one I knew with your certain little cries You're not the only one to come rushing in It's like a party line Yeah sometimes we see each other on the street Maybe at a concert or some party We say hello talk about the show I can't believe we were married Yeah we say hello then we have to go You send your regards to all my family And the years have changed even the sound of your name I can't believe that we were married That we were wed
