Lyrics Kirsty MacColl

Kirsty MacColl

Queen of the High Teas

He's finding out life is never what it seems

She's finding doubt is replacing all her dreams

She's trying to pretend she's still in love just like before

But when he goes away she doesn't miss him any more

And it's too late to talk it over

She can't wait now

She's leaving anyhow

She's getting bored now that life seems so routine

Her head is filled with the places she ain't been

Since he's been unemployed he's started drinking heavily

They spend the night in silence watching rubbish on TV

And it's too late to talk it over

She can't wait now

She's leaving anyhow

They used to have some good times when they started out at first

But that was fifteen years ago now things keep getting worse

And it's too late to talk it over

She can't wait now

She's leaving anyhow

And it's too late to talk it over

She can't wait now

She's leaving anyhow

Yes it's too late to talk it over

She can't wait now

She's leaving anyhow
