Billy Bragg - Honey I'm A Big Boy Now

Billy Bragg

Honey I'm A Big Boy Now

I can see the kitchen light
From the road where i park my bike
But it's dark there as it often is these days
And the gloomy living room
Really needs a dust and broom
But i can't brush your memory away

Her father was an admiral
In someone else's navy
And she had seen the world before I met her
She would wash and cook and clean
And all the other things between
And like a fool I just sat there and let her

Now i can feed and dress and wash myself
And I can sleep without the light on
Honey, I'm a big boy now
I don't know what she does
With all the money that I send her
She's running round the town with the Young Pretender

I haven't touched the garden
Since the day she walked away
From a love affair that bore only bitter fruit
She took everything she wanted
Which is why she left me here
With these pots and pans and my old wedding suit

A letter came one morning
That she would not let me see
And from that day I began to realise
That she would one day break
The home we tried to make
For sinners cannot live in Paradise

Now i can feed and dress and wash myself
And I can sleep without the light on
Honey, I'm a big boy now
I don't know what she does
With all the money that I send her
She's running round the town with the Young Pretender

I don't know what she does
With all the money that I send her
She's running round the town with the Young Pretender

Mirror lyrics:

She's running round the town with the Young Pretender
With all the money that I send her
I don't know what she does

She's running round the town with the Young Pretender
With all the money that I send her
I don't know what she does
Honey, I'm a big boy now
And I can sleep without the light on
Now i can feed and dress and wash myself

For sinners cannot live in Paradise
The home we tried to make
That she would one day break
And from that day I began to realise
That she would not let me see
A letter came one morning

With these pots and pans and my old wedding suit
Which is why she left me here
She took everything she wanted
From a love affair that bore only bitter fruit
Since the day she walked away
I haven't touched the garden

She's running round the town with the Young Pretender
With all the money that I send her
I don't know what she does
Honey, I'm a big boy now
And I can sleep without the light on
Now i can feed and dress and wash myself

And like a fool I just sat there and let her
And all the other things between
She would wash and cook and clean
And she had seen the world before I met her
In someone else's navy
Her father was an admiral

But i can't brush your memory away
Really needs a dust and broom
And the gloomy living room
But it's dark there as it often is these days
From the road where i park my bike
I can see the kitchen light
