The World And His Wife (Album Version) - Elvis Costello & The Attractions[00:00:00]

The family circle gathers 'round from very far and near[00:00:09]

To pass around the same remarks they passed away last year[00:00:12]

The little girl you dangled on your knee without mishap[00:00:16]

Stirs something in your memory and something in your lap[00:00:19]

But it's a living it's a living[00:00:23]

This is the life this is the life[00:00:25]

For the world and his wife[00:00:26]

The world and his wife[00:00:30]

The kissing cousins slip outside to cuddle and confess[00:00:41]

She says sweet nothing at all it's much more of a mess[00:00:45]

The conversation melts like chocolate down their open jaws[00:00:49]

As the juniper berry slips down just like last night's drawers[00:00:52]

It's a living it's a living[00:00:55]

This is the life this is the life[00:00:57]

For the world and his wife[00:00:59]

The world and his wife[00:01:03]

To tell the truth our mum ran off with someone else's father[00:01:07]

Went for two weeks' holiday in taramasalata[00:01:10]

Daddy went out with the rubbish and he kept on walking[00:01:14]

Between mum and the walls god only knows who does the talking[00:01:18]

But it's a living it's a living[00:01:23]

This is the life this is the life[00:01:25]

For the world and his wife[00:01:26]

The world and his wife[00:01:30]

But later on in the evening through the tears and fol de rol[00:01:43]

Come the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol[00:01:46]

Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas[00:01:50]

With a blindfold and a national anthem sung in different keys[00:01:54]

But it's a living it's a living[00:01:57]

This is the life this is the life[00:01:59]

But it's a living it's a living[00:02:00]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:02]

But it's a living it's a living[00:02:04]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:06]

For the world and his wife[00:02:08]

For the world and his wife[00:02:11]

But it's a living it's a living[00:02:15]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:17]

But it's a living it's a living[00:02:18]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:20]

But it's a living it's a living[00:02:22]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:23]

For the world and his wife[00:02:26]

For the world and his wife[00:02:29]

But it's a living it's a living[00:02:33]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:34]

But it's a living it's a living[00:02:36]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:38]

But it's a living it's a living[00:02:40]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:42]

For the world and his wife[00:02:43]

For the world and his wife[00:02:47]

It's a living it's a living[00:02:51]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:52]

It's a living it's a living[00:02:54]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:56]

It's a living it's a living[00:02:58]

This is the life this is the life[00:02:59]

For the world and his wife[00:03:01]

For the world and his wife[00:03:05]

It's a living[00:03:09]

This is the life[00:03:11]

It's a living[00:03:13]

This is the life[00:03:14]
