The Scaffolder's Wife Lyrics - Kill To Get Crimson - Mark Knopfler

The scaffolder's wife 

Driving out of the yard 

With a face that's as hard 

As a scaffolder's bar - 

When she goes into town 

She might take the top down 

On the car 

The quick little steps 

In the stiletto boots 

And the hair with the roots 

She comes in as a rule 

To get the nails done 

And the tan for the sun 

When the kids are in school

Don't begrudge her the Merc 

It's been nothing but work 

And a hard life 

Losing her looks 

Over company books 

- the scaffolder's wife 

In the wicked old days 

When they went it alone 

Kept the company going 

On a wing and a prayer 

They don't pay what they owe 

When they have the cash flow 

- they don't care

Don't begrudge her the Merc 

It's been nothing but work 

And a hard life 

Losing her looks 

Over company books
