On our best behaviour in the front room,
Trying not to laugh when you catch my eye,
It's in our tongues till we cry.
Wasting all our finest words on death is Smiling all the while,
'Cause we left the car running outside.
Now we are in uniform,
We are strangers,
We are, resolutely fine,
But the old scars never lie.
Collecting fresh bruises on the patterned shirt sleeves,
Both will fade in time,
But the old scars never lie.
Turned ourselves inside,
Asked if they would believe us,
And not dismiss us as another Decade of Divas,
We just smile politely till they leave us,
Finally on our own.
Finally on our own.
You look so fine as you lie sleeping,
With your hand in mine,
Under the duvet blue.
And I think again that I should write,
To your old friend,
Who recommended me to you.
Turned ourselves inside,
Asked if they would believe us,
And not dismiss us as another Decade of Divas,
We just smile politely till they leave us,
Finally on our own.
Finally on our own.
Turned ourselves inside,
Asked if they would believe us,
And not dismiss us as another Decade of Divas,
We just smile politely as they leave us,
Finally on our own.
Finally on our own.
Finally on our own.
