Baillie & The Boys - Feet Of Clay lyrics

He left the house that in the morning, with his briefcase and his lunch An' drove off in that big old Ford He came back homer that evenin' in a shiny little red thing An' I heard her whisper: "Oh My Lord." An she got that look around her mouth that always seemed to settle When she had a real bad day I only saw his halo But she saw his feet of clay Oh, he loved her and she loved him In their own peculiar way I never knew that love had feet of clay An' she grew up believin', 'cos everybody told her The world would be a pearl in her hand So she married her a prince, who swore he'd always love her And he built her a castle on sand And the things she never told him when he tried to understand her Were the things she couldn't say So she threw away her old gla** slippers 'Cos they didn't fit her feet of clay Oh, he loved her and she loved him In their own peculiar way I never knew that love had feet of clay And the trouble with those feet of clay When it rains too hard, they melt away Or hold you fast 'til life has pa**ed you by Now we've learned that no-one's perfect, and no matter how you try You're gonna break a heart someday But still each time I see them, looking in each other's eyes I wanna be in love that way 'Cos she always wants to meet him when he opens up the door At the end of every day With a halo shining in his eyes Standing on feet of clay Oh, he loves her and she loves him In their own peculiar way As they dance through life together On their feet of clay Oh, he loves her and she loves him In their own peculiar way As they dance through life together On their feet of clay
