Cricket wife - Pet Shop Boys

Time has stopped

The air is still

Nothing moves

Or ever will

Present tense is future past

Velocity slows so fast

The air is still

Nothing moves or ever will

«I'm going home

I’ve had enough

Call a taxi

I want my stuff

Where are my shoes?

My coat?

My hat?

Get me out

I smell a rat

I can’t remember why or when

They brought me here

But this is there

And then is now»

A sudden sigh

«And now it’s late

And where am I?

And where am I?

Where am I?»

A sudden sigh

«Where am I?»

«Whey are my shoes?

My coat, my hat?

Just get me out

I smell a rat

Whey are my shoes?

My coat, my hat?

Just get me out

I smell a rat

Whey are my shoes?

My coat, my hat?

Just get me out

I smell a rat»

«I can’t remember why or when

They brought me here

But this then

And then is now»

A sudden sigh

A sudden sigh

«And now it’s late

And where am I?»

A sudden sigh

A sudden sigh

And now it’s late"

Another sigh

Then sleep to dream

Laughing, flying from the scene

I saw you clearly in my mind

Fly and leave it all behind

Bones and blood

And anxious anger

Replaced in space by girlish laughter

A sunny day

His turn to bat

The cricket wives

Sip tea and chat

«That's that, he’s out

Not such a bad innings

They still have a fair enough chance of winning»

His boyish smile

She understands him

His lack of guile

Her soul demands him

He packs his bat

They’re off together

And that was that

And is forever
