I Can't Believe We Were Married Lyrics - Singles - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

Paul Kelly (Mushroom) 

We dance in the kitchen on Boxing Day 

I held you swaying in my arms to Marvin Gaye 

Our Christmas ham turned green by New Year's Eve 

We weren't hungry anyway 

Now sometimes we see each other on the street 

Maybe at a hotel or some party 

We say hello then we have to go 

I can't believe we were married 

That we were wed 

Our houses were a shambles, our love conspiracy 

Your hand was always down my pants 

before our guests could leave 

They didn't like our drugs, our children or our dogs 

The way we made it up each day 

Now the kids have grown we talk on the phone 

If one of them is sick or needs some money 

Our words are dry, so measured and polite 

I can't believe we were married 

That we were wed 

Now maybe if I'm with someone you come into my mind 

The one I knew with your certain little cries 

You're not the only one to come rushing in 

It's like a party line 

Yeah sometimes we see each other on the street 

Maybe at a concert or some party 

We say hello talk about the show 

I can't believe we were married 

Yeah we say hello then we have to go 

You send your regards to all my family 

And the years have changed even the sound of your name 

I can't believe that we were married 

That we were wed
