Текст песни The Short Answer - Billy Bragg
Between
Marx
and
marzipan
in
the
dictionary
there
was
Mary
Between
the
Deep
Blue
Sea
and
the
Devil
that
was
me
If
ever
anyone
could
help
me
with
my
obsession
with
The
young
Suzannah
York
It
was
Mary
In
my
pink
pyjamas
she
asked
me
for
something
I
gave
her
the
short
answer
She
read
our
stars
out
loud
And
I
knew
then
that
we
should
have
gone
sailing
But
we
stayed
home
instead
Fighting
on
the
waterbed
Like
the
honeymoon
couple
on
drugs
Me
and
Mary
What
happened
in
the
past
Remained
a
mystery
of
natural
history
She
should
have
been
the
last
But
she
was
just
the
latest
If
she
wanted
to
be
a
farmer's
wife
I
would
endure
that
muddy
life
I
would
dig
for
victory
And
the
sound
of
happy
couples
Coupling
happily
in
the
dark
While
you
and
I
sat
down
to
tea
I
remember
you
said
to
me
That
no
amount
of
poetry
Would
mend
this
broken
heart
But
you
can
put
the
Hoover
round
If
you
want
to
make
a
start
All
my
friends
from
school
Introduce
me
to
their
spouses
While
I'm
left
standing
here
With
my
hands
down
the
front
of
my
trousers
I
just
don't
know
what's
to
be
done
I
wonder
sometimes
how
did
Dad
meet
Mum
And
how
did
they
conceive
of
me
Tell
my
Mary
The
boys
who
came
to
the
shop
Always
made
her
laugh
much
more
than
I
did
When
I
told
her
this
must
stop
She
didn't
bat
an
eyelid
She
said
you
know
honey
it's
such
a
shame
You'll
never
be
any
good
at
this
game
You
bruise
too
easily
So
said
Mary
Her
two
brothers
took
me
out
Of
circulation
for
the
duration
So
we
went
our
separate
ways
but
does
she
still
love
me
She
still
has
my
door
key
Like
a
bully
boy
in
a
Benetton
shop
You're
never
happy
with
what
you've
got
Till
what
you've
got
is
gone
Sorry
Mary
