Alone with the TV - The Mitchell Brothers

She could have waited till I got home

Now she’s on the train while I’m on my own

First thing this morning, you ironed my shirt for me

Lunch break, we were fighting on the phone

This evening brought back DVDs but I’m alone with the TV

First thing this morning, your head was on my chest

I had to be up early so I left you in the bed

You looked so enticing curled under the duvet

But I couldn’t jump back in 'cause I didn’t wanna be late

You laid there so calmly as I quickly got dressed

And my Armani cardie and shirt they were neatly pressed

I wanted to say bye but I didn’t wanna wake you up

So I thought I’d give you a call on my lunch break or something

At lunch break, I rung you on the house phone

But you never answered

So I hung up and rung back on the voda

We were chattin' so kosher

But then you started to moan, love

About how I never give you no time

When I’m out on the roads 'nuff

I couldn’t take all this long talk

So I told you please ease off

I had to press the red button with my thumb

'Cause I was so peed off

This evening I bought back some Chinese to munch

And I even went an' got some DVDs to watch

First thing this morning, you ironed my shirt for me

At lunch break, you were vibin' on the phone

This evenin' I bought back DVDs but I’m alone with the TV

My head in my hands

Starin' right at my hair brush on the table

Beside my cuppa tea and toast still untouched

My fist on the table, eyes fixed on the carpet

Telephone going off, can’t be arsed to go and answer it

My head in my hands 'cause I opened up the front door

To see if there was any post for me on the floor in the porch

My fists on the table 'cause the letter I just read in black

Had just said that you had left with my best friend

My eyes to the ceiling 'cause I thought it was all a joke

Til I opened up your wardrobe, no hangers, no clothes

My head in my hands 'cause the photo I’m holding

Is a photo of you and your fuckin' smile

First thing this morning, you ironed my shirt for me

At lunch break, you were vibin' on the phone

This evenin' I bought back DVDs but I’m alone with the TV

This evening, I have bought back love actually

'Cause I thought what we had was actually love

But I cant see your Gucci scarf or your Zara gloves

There ain’t no Mac lip gloss or eyeliner or stuff

On the bathroom sink there’s only one toothbrush

There’s only one face wash, there’s only one sponge

On the table by the stove, there’s a note and a biro

I’m trying to chase you on the voda, love

Just to ask you why go

At lunch break I should have listened

To your whinin' on the phone and not been so impatient

Or tired of your moanin'

I should have told you we’ll sort it when

I get in at 6 and settle our differences by talkin' it out and shit

First thing this morning, I should have rubbed off Simones

Paulas and Josephines numbers off my phone

If I’d done that this morning, you’d be here at home

If I’d done that this morning, I wouldn’t be alone

First thing this morning, you ironed my shirt for me

At lunch break you were vibin' on the phone

This evenin' I bought back DVDs but I’m alone with the TV

First thing this morning, you ironed my shirt for me

At lunch break you were vibin' on the phone

This evenin' I bought back DVDs but I’m alone with the TV
