Lyrics
LIVING WITH MY SISTER
You frown like you never heard words before
You listen with your ear right to the door
Hoping to pick up inside information
But I tell you there's nothing to hear
And you should go and paint your year
With sparkling colours better than black and white
And that would be grand for you
You can have a life brand new
While I stay here living with my sister
Maybe it looks to you quite queer
But let me say there's nothing to fear
Nothing stays the same and I have changed
You wish that I'd stay full of yearning
But seasons change and leaves are turning
I gotta plant my roots back in the ground
And that would be grand for you
You can have a life brand new
While I stay here living with my sister
You don't think that I'll endure
This picture that I paint so pure
It's fiction and a cover you exclaim
But the fire's on and the oven's warming
I aint wracked now by the burning
I have moved beyond the wanting game
And that would be grand for you
You can have life brand new
While I stay here living with my sister
And that would be grand for you
You can have a life brand new
While I stay here and look after my sister
