someone else's wife

Singer:go-betweens, the

can't find my way down my own street

got to get my dream feet back on its feet

i'm trapped in my house

on first name terms with its mouse

don't say this house is a shack

we had it once

can i get it back?

it's a fine line between love and despair

do you know the times i've waited on your stair?

don't say you've got a home and new life

i won't stand in your way 'cause

you're someone else's wife

i'm trying to set things straight

but i can't see straight

i'm gonna drive if it takes me years

gotta learn to live with fear

don't say this house is a shack

lightning hit it so i struck back

it's a fine line between love and despair

do you know the times i've waited on your stair?

don't say you've got a home and new life

i won't stand in your way 'cause

you're someone else's wife

don't say this house is a shack

thunder cracked so i cracked back

it's a fine line between love and despair

do you know the times i've waited on your stair?

don't say you've got a home and new life

i won't stand in your way 'cause

you're someone else's wife
