My Wife Lyrics

My life's in jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
I haven't been home since Friday night and now my wife
Is comin' after me
Give me police protection
Gonna buy a gun so I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard
A black belt judo expert
With a machine gun
Gonna buy a tank and an airplane
When she catches up with me
Won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough
To send her half-insane
Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots, and take a long, long drive
I may end up spendin' all my money
But I'll still be alive
All I did was have a bit too much to drink
And I picked the wrong precinct
Got picked up by the law and now I ain't got time to think
Gonna buy a tank and an airplane
When she catches up with me
Won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough
To send her half-insane
Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots, and take a long, long drive
I may end up spendin' all my money
But I'll still be alive
And I'm oh, so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I gotta rest some time
So I can get to run some more
Yeah
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin

He played the horns on this one too. :O

It's straightforward and silly, about how his wife is gonna bitch to him about being gone for a while, and he thinks he has to hide from the monster.

Pretty easy to figure out. One of my Faves from The Who. It's pretty funny. I always thought the one lyric was "I gotta rest some more so I get to Baltimore."
