Squeeze - Woman's World Lyrics
(difford/tilbrook)The crown of the kingdom is given to the womanThe kingdom of the kitchen where she says she shouldnt,There on the stainless steel her cigarettes and matchesWhistles to the radio to every hook she catches,But the frownsEider downs,Tie her downBut she likes to wear the crown of the kingdom.She like the recipes a touch of orientalSteaming up the windows burning egg on metal,Sees in a catalogue a shiny new applianceAnother role swallowed by the wonders of science,Lobster handsOmelette pans,UnderstandHow the crown can stick like jam in her kingdom.Hes been so busy and shes been neglected,The problem is computed and always its rejected,Out of her heart I catch a spark,And being smartThe crown is left out in the dark now theres no kingdom.Fed up with the glory she abdicates her titleSitting at a bar stool she gives her days recital,The family watch in horrorAs she staggers up the hallwayMakes herself a sandwichAs theyre looking through the doorway,She goes to bedLeg by leg,Nothings saidTheres no crown upon her head theres no kingdom.Press the button on the toasterIts a womans world,Tuck the sheets in on the bedIts a womans world,Take your apron from your holsterIts a womans world,Shoot the crown off of your headIts a womans world.
