A Life Of Her Own Lyrics - The Painted Word - Television Personalities

She sits alone in the kitchen 

With her memories and photographs 

Of all the better times she's had 

When she was young the days seemed short 

So much to do so little time 

But now the days just seem to pass her by 

So she cries she takes a pill 

Then another, calls her mother 

"Mother can you baby sit tonight?" 

The children scream her husband doesn't care 

So many times she's wished he wasn't there 

In the morning does the washing up 

The fish and chips the children left 

She scrapes away into the bin 

Four o'clock they're home from school 

They scream and shout her life they rule 

She dreams of holidays and better things 

So she cries she takes a pill 

Then another, calls her mother 

"Mother can you baby sit tonight?" 

She wishes she was alone 

She could have a life of her own 

So she sits alone in the park 

She wishes she could run away 

But deep inside she knows she never will 

She dreams of living in the country 

With a garden full of daffodils 

For now a box on the window sill 

So she cries she takes a pill 

And then another, calls her mother 

"Mother can you baby sit tonight?"
