EARLY GRAVE

Men are from mars and women are not
That's where the likeness stops
Now I've gotta tell you `bout the trouble I'm in
And she'll say the trouble she's got
It's amazing that we're drawn together
With the differences god gave
Well my darlin' you're just driving me
To an early grave

(her)
You skulk away in that music room
Guitars hanging on every wall
You're always sitting on your arse
When the kids need taking to school
You're writing songs with titles like
Nothing but the brave
But my darlin' you're just driving me
To an early grave

(him)
You say go ahead when the lights are red
And the cross traffic's moving on
You say hold on when the lights turn green
And everyone else has gone
You drive me mad with that tongue you wag
It's muscle you should save
My darlin' you're just driving me
To an early grave

(her)
I plead and plead but the DIY
Never seems to get done
While I run around multi-tasking
You can't finish one
Cleaning cooking household chores
I feel just like you're slave
My darlin' you're just driving
To an early grave
(him)
The toilet seat don't know where it stands
When it's up you want it down
The shoe shops see you coming
When you're still a hundred miles from town
You're spending all the money
That you told me we should save
My darlin' you're just driving me
To an early grave

(him)
Although there's men with men these days
Sure seems like one strange call
But when you compare how we get on
Well maybe it ain't after all
(her)
And women with women well they sure get
The tender lovin' that they crave
While my darlin' you're just driving me
To an early grave
(both)
Yes my darlin' you're just driving me
To an early grave

(him)
With your chitter chatter endless patter
(her)
With your CD's movies surround sound DVD's
(him)
With your moaning groaning always telephoning
(her)
With your football pub crawl don't call stay aways
(both)
My darlin' you're just driving me
To an early grave
