Rough Trade Records - Pretty Eve in the Tub lyrics

Pretty Eve in the tub Please allow me to scrub Please allow me to rub Tell me cares of the day Let me wash them away All the hideous weight Dry you gently Dress you tenderly And ready for bed You're asleep still standing up I like you not made up You've got a nice face It is crumpled and creased From the way that you sleep But I like you the best In one of my vests That you casually keep Steal from me my underwear You wear it better than me Go all day, no false alarms You charm them all, the worker Labour-free shirker Management lady Government spy Long legged girl from the west You came onto the scene Like an energetic bean Charming ways you have learnt All the guys have been bent By your mesmerising gaze Waltzing into situations Vacant, getting a raise Writing home to tell you folks About the city ways Are nagging at you What's a girl s'posed to do When a city closes in Noise from the lady upstairs She's as deaf as a post As transparent as a wraith Boys are queuing Trouble's brewing But you take it all in Ride the wave Of their affection Look behind the gaze And confessions of lust Pretty Eve in the tub Please allow me to scrub Please allow me to rub Please allow me to scrub
