Working Mother
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?
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

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?
