He's come home early to make their tea
He's by the sink she's in the lounge
He tries to talk to her but he won't succeed
His wife is on the 'phone
  again
His wife is on the 'phone
  again

Oh oh can't you see
It could be you it could be me
Well sometimes I wonder
if this is life then I'd prefer to die

He sits and thinks he scratches his head
There must be more to life than being brain dead
He says a lot she just ignores
He gets the paper out and he checks the scores

He's turned the television on oh he's turned the television
  on
He's turned the television on oh he's turned the television
  on

He's on remote he turns the dial
He can't remember the last time he smiled
He turns his back he doesn't want to know
A vow of silence just like death row
