A Collier's Wife

When you left you left me reeling

But I'll try to fight this feeling

I thought you were as happy as a ****y bird

Oh but for my love of another bird

Oh now I'm stuck waiting

A collier's wife will not stop scrating

I hope you know that if I only could

I'd sing you songs like a lover should

If I took you by the hand

It was cos you could hardly stand

And I could hardly stand still

I know there are things you'd like to do

And I like wasting time with you

But I'm still in it for the thrill

So lads you know the drill

You took off and left me reeling

I still don't care for this feeling

You sing in my ear like a mockingbird

But I'd be happy with any other bird

Oh we wasted time like

Times well spent lost in the gutter

The stars we see don't mean a single thing

Oh how we band of brothers sing

If I took you by the hand

It was cos you could hardly stand

And I could hardly stand still

I know there are thing you'd like to do

And I like wasting time with you

But I'm still in it for the thrill

So lads you know the dril
