Squeeze - Man For All Seasons lyrics

(difford/tilbrook) Now the woman wears the trousers Now my shirts remain uncreased Now the shoe is on the other foot Maybe i can feel released All the pleasure of pleasing you All the powers of needing you Now i'm no longer keeping you So now she's working at the office And i don't have a job at all She keeps me in cigarettes Once a bat now a ball All the dinners are burning dear All the while i'm learning dear Now i'm no longer earning dear A man for all seasons Not now i'm feeling so tired I've got so much upon my plate Not now was the distant cry As the latch fell on the gate A man for all seasons Now the house is like a garage Parts of me about the room I'm building up another me One that takes a nap at noon All the parties are thrown for you All the people are known by you Now i'm building this home for you
