Can’t Do Both
Mr. & Mrs. Almost
- I want to go to Spain
Had a double income life
- I want to fight a bull
He worked every evening
- And meet with my old flame
She had a nine to five
- Behind a castle wall
The first year was so easy
- And as we smoke Madeira
The second was alright
- And drink our guitars
But it was halfway through the third year
- You'll pirouette beside me
When she turned to him and cried:
- And I'll whisper to the stars

Looking out for you
Looking out for me
But I can't do both obviously
Looking out for you
Looking out for me
But I can't do both

They love to be together
- I'll go to the Chatham Islands
But now they hardly get the chance
- Be the first to see the sun
She gives him a smile of welcome
- And as I hang my washing out
And he leaves her a parting glance
- I'll watch the colours run
They said when they got married
- And one day late in August
There will be no compromise
- I'll get your telegram
Now they burn down one side only
- You'll be my lie detector
That's the story of our lives
- I'll be your radio ham
