The Duchess

Produced by Brian Eno & Robert Wyatt

Oh my wife is tall and short
She wont do what she ought
She never lies, but then again
She lies down all day long
Oh My wife is fat and thin
Shes generous and mean
Shes –––––, and
Her secrets safe with me
Oh My wife is old and young
So sweet with her poison tongue
On her evenings off she blackmails toffs
But her secrets safe with me

Oh My wife is tall and short
She hangs out down the port
Says 'Hello sailor, hows your dad?'
Oh My wife is fat and thin
Shes generous and mean
Shes –––––, and
But her secrets safe with me
Oh My wife is sour and sweet
She dit dit dit delete
Shes lalala ladida, butter
Secrets safe with me
