Lyrics A Perishing of Cherished Things - Barbara

How did I end up getting involved in
The very existence
I planned on avoiding
When he was a writer with talent
And she fell in love
Now she's married to Alan
And all that Wendy writes are her letters to Sharon
Sharon shares a similar sense of
Resentment for her love
She's moving to a town that she's not even heard of
Anyway, anyway, they get to go abroad on holiday
There's a spider in my bed
Imagine that
Imagine that, that
Though he sits and he stares back at me, calling as an answer back
Answer back, back
Looks at me as if he knows the answer to the question that I pose
How did I end up getting involved in
The very existence
I planned on avoiding
Now Wendy wishes things had been different
And Sharon shuttles kids to the pictures
Though it's hardly the worst situation on earth
There's a perishing of cherished things and memories unlearnt
But anyway, anyway, they get to go abroad on holiday
There's a spider in my bed
Imagine that
Imagine that, that
Though he sits and he stares back at me, calling as an answer back
Answer back, back
He looks at me as if he knows the answer to the question that I pose
How did I end up getting involved in
The very existence
The very existence
The very existence
There's a spider in my bed
How did I end up getting involved in
There's a spider in my bed
The very existence I planned on avoiding
There's a spider in my bed
How did I end up getting involved in
There's a spider in my bed
The very existence I planned on avoiding
