He never sent her flowers by wire
He said, “The spending comes in time…
A little later, once I’ve made it out the red.
Would you wait here while I scrape it by til then?
He’s workin odd jobs, on and off
til somethin comes up,
and twiddlin his thumbs
still workin odd jobs, on and on
good God.
Post chorus instr to post chorus vocal:
And in the pink of health, very well read,
he wanted something else, sure,
someone else to be
yeah yeah yeah
Verse instrumental
He’s workin’ odd jobs…(1.5x)
He never left her flowers to dry
and felt indulgence all the while.
Is there no room left to love you, drowning here?
Yeah there’s so few of those old truths, they’ve disappeared
He’s workin odd jobs… (2x)
Repeat post chorus
