Best Of Both Worlds

(Bruce Foxton)

You're so wrapped up in your Jekyll-Hyde life
And the wife and the kids can see plainer than light.
Keeper for them and the wife of before
Just to lie and get out that door.

Best Of Both Worlds

You act the part you swore to play
In fact you might win an Oscar someday
A tone and a favour could ruin their lives
Placed amongst pictures of you and the wife

I know it's too late to change my strategy
I know that I'm broke but I can't seem to pull away
Any way I move they turn their backs to me
What's the use they don't even speak to me

What does it matter now?
They don't seem to care
There's nothing left to share

Way up in that towerblock fortress
The view is of car-dumps and disused gasworks
They don't come see you play around anymore
Cos they've packed your bags and left them outside the door
