Beautiful South - Woman In The Wall

Beautiful South

Woman In The Wall

He was just a social drinker but social every night
He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four
She was just a silent thinker, silent every night
He'd enjoy the thought of killing her before

Well he was very rarely drunk but very rarely sober
And he didn't think the problem was his drink
But he only knew his problem when he knocked her over
And when the rotting flesh began to stink

Cry freedom for the woman in the wall
Cry freedom for she has no voice at all
I hear her cry all day, all night
I hear her voice from deep within the wall
Made a cross from knitting needles
Made a grave from hoover bags
Especially for the woman in the wall

She'd knitted him a jumper with dominoes on
So he wore it everyday in every week
Pretended to himself that she hadn't really gone
Pretended that he thought he heard her speak

Then at last it seemed that he was really winning
He felt that he had some sort of grip
But all of his new life was sent a-spinning
When the rotting wall began to drip

Mirror lyrics:

When the rotting wall began to drip
But all of his new life was sent a-spinning
He felt that he had some sort of grip
Then at last it seemed that he was really winning

Pretended that he thought he heard her speak
Pretended to himself that she hadn't really gone
So he wore it everyday in every week
She'd knitted him a jumper with dominoes on

Especially for the woman in the wall
Made a grave from hoover bags
Made a cross from knitting needles
I hear her voice from deep within the wall
I hear her cry all day, all night
Cry freedom for she has no voice at all
Cry freedom for the woman in the wall

And when the rotting flesh began to stink
But he only knew his problem when he knocked her over
And he didn't think the problem was his drink
Well he was very rarely drunk but very rarely sober

He'd enjoy the thought of killing her before
She was just a silent thinker, silent every night
He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four
He was just a social drinker but social every night
