Tim Finn - Can't Do Both lyrics

Mr. & Mrs. Almost - I want to go to Spain Had a double income life - I want to fight a bull He worked every evening - And meet with my old flame She had a nine to five - Behind a castle wall The first year was so easy - And as we smoke Madeira The second was alright - And drink our guitars But it was halfway through the third year - You'll pirouette beside me When she turned to him and cried: - And I'll whisper to the stars Looking out for you Looking out for me But I can't do both obviously Looking out for you Looking out for me But I can't do both They love to be together - I'll go to the Chatham Islands But now they hardly get the chance - Be the first to see the sun She gives him a smile of welcome - And as I hang my washing out And he leaves her a parting glance - I'll watch the colours run They said when they got married - And one day late in August There will be no compromise - I'll get your telegram Now they burn down one side only - You'll be my lie detector That's the story of our lives - I'll be your radio ham Looking out for you Looking out for me But I can't do both obviously Looking out for you Looking out for me But I can't do both Have you heard about the modern couple They had everything Their income was double But now they're losing sight of each other They thought they had it all But now they're falling out of love Looking out for you Looking out for me Looking out for you Looking out for me They thought they had it all Now the writing's on the wall Their love is on the line They're running out of time Can't do both
