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
