Martha(2010 - Remaster) (Remaster) - Mary Hopkin[00:00:00]
Martha sits by the telephone [00:00:37]
Hoping someone will call [00:00:41]
She's on her own again [00:00:42]
She has so much she can talk about [00:00:46]
And there'll be gossip she can hawk about again[00:00:49]
Did you stumble home drunk and loud[00:00:54]
To an empty room with no one waiting there [00:00:58]
Is your life a black and broken cloud [00:01:03]
Then Martha will feed upon your despair [00:01:06]
See the curtain move she watches you [00:01:20]
Listening through the broken walls[00:01:24]
And rotting floors [00:01:26]
Don't make a slip [00:01:28]
Martha catches you [00:01:30]
Hiding on landings [00:01:32]
And peering round the doors[00:01:34]
Did you enjoy yourself and laugh and sing [00:01:38]
Then Martha will disapprove and shake her head [00:01:41]
No matter what the day ahead will bring [00:01:46]
Martha will circulate each word you said [00:01:50]
Like the vulture Martha hovers high [00:02:04]
Waiting to pounce upon your shattered dreams [00:02:08]
Her twisted smile and her nodding head [00:02:13]
Disguise her haggard world of lies and schemes[00:02:17]
Who was it took and broke her young girl's heart [00:02:22]
And branded it and burned her mind [00:02:25]
Who was it tore her life apart [00:02:31]
And left it for the rats to find[00:02:34]
Martha sits by the telephone [00:02:57]
Hoping someone will call [00:03:01]
She's on her own again [00:03:03]
She has so much that she can talk about [00:03:06]
And there'll be gossip she can hawk about again[00:03:10]
