Neil Innes - Love Is Getting Deeper Lyrics
We have no time for lover's games of hide-and-seek or cat-and-mouseI come home tired, you call me names, you work all week at keeping houseI understand the drudgery of what you do, but don't you thinkthe office is the same for me?You ask me to unblock the sink.Life is getting shorterNickel dime and quarterTalk is getting cheaperLove is getting deeperI get to work under the sink, I bang my head, the spanner slipsI cut my hand and wish I had a drink but curse instead the water dripsYou nag at me, I raise my voice, the baby's toys are on the floorYou say be quiet, I have no choice;the slightest noise disturbs next door.Life is getting shorterNickel dime and quarterTalk is getting cheaperLove is getting deeperThe kettle boils, the baby cries, I pick him up, his little teeth are coming throughI dry his eyes, you break a cup and underneath the kitchen lightyour pretty face is close to tears and so my heart goes out to youAs we embrace, love reappearsto play its partLife is getting shorterNickel dime and quarterTalk is getting cheaperLove is getting deeperLife is getting shorterNickel dime and quarterTalk is getting cheaperLove is getting deeper
