Like They Used To

Well the boy's coming home from school at four,
And I'm coming home to you once more,
Though we fell out of love years ago,
The mortgage is too high to leave

So the kid looks up on what he thinks is love,
A faded smile beamed down from above,
He may never know what's going on below,
But the bairn needs feeding, you know.

And your curls don't fall
Quite like they used to,
Your eyes they don't shine,
In mine like they used to,
I fell in love long ago,
But now its gone,
And I hate you now

We've got a good ten years before we're free,
No chance for parole,from the chains that keep
Me tied to you, to the boy, to the car,
to the gas bill, water rates and so much more,
There's a bottle at home, I'll drink it in one,
It takes the sting away
Maybe you'll be pretty again.

'Cause your curls don't fall
Quite like they used to,
Your eyes they don't shine,
In mine like they used to,
I fell in love long ago,
But now its gone,
And I hate you now
