[00:00.00]The World And His Wife - Elvis Costello & The Attractions
[00:09.30]The family circle gathers 'round from very far and near
[00:12.84]To pass around the same remarks they passed away last year
[00:16.51]The little girl you dangled on your knee without mishap
[00:19.87]Stirs something in your memory and something in your lap
[00:23.12]But it's a living it's a living
[00:25.05]This is the life this is the life
[00:26.79]For the world and his wife
[00:30.84]The world and his wife
[00:41.87]The kissing cousins slip outside to cuddle and confess
[00:45.34]She says sweet nothing at all it's much more of a mess
[00:49.09]The conversation melts like chocolate down their open jaws
[00:52.51]As the juniper berry slips down just like last night's drawers
[00:55.68]It's a living it's a living
[00:57.52]This is the life this is the life
[00:59.31]For the world and his wife
[01:03.08]The world and his wife
[01:07.05]To tell the truth our mum ran off with someone else's father
[01:10.88]Went for two weeks' holiday in taramasalata
[01:14.55]Daddy went out with the rubbish and he kept on walking
[01:18.25]Between mum and the walls god only knows who does the talking
[01:23.31]But it's a living it's a living
[01:25.16]This is the life this is the life
[01:26.91]For the world and his wife
[01:30.53]The world and his wife
[01:43.45]But later on in the evening through the tears and fol de rol
[01:46.79]Come the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol
[01:50.65]Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas
[01:54.27]With a blindfold and a national anthem sung in different keys
[01:57.20]But it's a living it's a living
[01:59.39]This is the life this is the life
[02:00.90]But it's a living it's a living
[02:02.55]This is the life this is the life
[02:04.65]But it's a living it's a living
[02:06.48]This is the life this is the life
[02:08.24]For the world and his wife
[02:11.84]For the world and his wife
[02:15.32]But it's a living it's a living
[02:17.17]This is the life this is the life
[02:18.80]But it's a living it's a living
[02:20.54]This is the life this is the life
[02:22.44]But it's a living it's a living
[02:23.97]This is the life this is the life
[02:26.00]For the world and his wife
[02:29.56]For the world and his wife
[02:33.07]But it's a living it's a living
[02:34.98]This is the life this is the life
[02:36.71]But it's a living it's a living
[02:38.54]This is the life this is the life
[02:40.18]But it's a living it's a living
[02:42.05]This is the life this is the life
[02:43.73]For the world and his wife
[02:47.51]For the world and his wife
[02:51.37]It's a living it's a living
[02:52.99]This is the life this is the life
[02:54.82]It's a living it's a living
[02:56.49]This is the life this is the life
[02:58.19]It's a living it's a living
[02:59.81]This is the life this is the life
[03:01.85]For the world and his wife
[03:05.48]For the world and his wife
