Squeeze - The Fortnight Saga

Business as usual in the harmony home
Up for the weekend to see my father
So I'm the one beneath the unturned stone
I begin the ritual fortnight saga

Get in the cab, bags packed with clothes
Cassette player, the jungle of homes
A pair of shoes for walking in
Out of the cab, the doorbell rings

Hungover greetings from the man in my life
A hug, a kiss, and a mug by the fire
He says I should need a woman I might like
I drop my bags and walk right by her

Get in the bath, bubbles up high
Cassette player plays in the night
She's at the door, wants to come in
I'm in the bath, I loudly sing

Business as usual at the harmony home
I can't believe it how time flies
I'm waving "See-ya" from the top of the road
She holds his hand as mother holds mine

Get in the way, unbreak my heart
I could surrender, or walk right past
I'm in a cab, looking at him
Out of the blue I hear a bell ring

Get in the cab, bags packed with clothes
I'm on my way to the harmony home
A pair of shoes for walking in
Out of the blue I hear a bell ring
