[00:06.40]Man of a moneyed mind,
[00:09.33]A trophy wife,
[00:10.57]On his arm to boast,
[00:12.15]Their love was dashed,
[00:13.75]On the diamond coast.
[00:20.95]Born was a single heir,
[00:23.21]To the ideal pair,
[00:24.91]To the careless two,
[00:26.51]Who choked the child,
[00:28.15]On the silver spoon.
[00:35.11]Now the couple take turns,
[00:37.63]Tryin’ to out-do each other,
[00:41.03]The more riches the better,
[00:44.21]The father or mother.
[00:52.30]Love at sweet sixteen,
[00:54.97]The king and queen,
[00:56.31]The wedding bells,
[00:57.85]Could well have warned,
[00:59.50]What time would tell.
[01:06.41]The cut above her eye,
[01:08.63]She could not hide,
[01:10.22]From the little boy,
[01:11.71]Who knew it wise,
[01:13.47]Now he's gone more often
[01:20.52] And she found ways to forget,
[01:26.35] And the little boy's hatred
[01:29.49] Is not showing yet.
[01:37.30] The wife of a working man
[01:39.97] Pills in hand 'neath a teary sleeve
[01:43.06] Their love was pure
[01:44.56]But could not conceive.
[01:46.56] (Near of far from your mind)
[01:51.54] And years and years go by
[01:54.01] The things they tried,
[01:55.45] But Fate had wrote
[01:57.20] To not give life would kill them both.
[02:00.18] (All this happens all the time)
[02:05.54] Now he goes to houses
[02:08.55] Where kissing is banned,
[02:11.54] And she has a daughter
[02:14.50] But she's missing her man.
[02:22.82] Near or far from your mind,
[02:28.93] All this happens all the time.
[02:35.19] Near or far from your mind,
[02:41.35] All this happens all the time.
