Honey I'm A Big Boy Now Lyrics - Billy Bragg

I can see the kitchen light 

From the road where I park my bike 

But it's dark there as it often is these days 

And the gloomy living room 

Really needs a dust and a broom 

But I can't brush your memory away 

Her father was an admiral 

In someone else's navy 

And she had seen the World before I met her 

She would wash and cook and clean 

And all the other things between 

And like a fool I just sat there and let her 

Now I can feed and wash and dress myself 

And I can sleep without the light on 

Honey, I'm a big boy now 

I don't know what she does With all the money that I sent her 

She's running round the town with the Young Pretender 

I haven't touched the garden 

Since the day she walked away 

From a love affair that bore only bitter fruit 

She took everything she wanted 

Which is why she left me here 

With these pots and pans and my old wedding suit
