Melody Motel Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

He drove up to the motel 

In his town and country car 

He watched the working women 

With the field hands from the farm 

He walked into the lobby 

With his pleased to see you smile 

Scribbled on to the register 

His fictitious name and smiled 

The footsteps of a young girl 

Came tapping along the hall 

The outline of his features 

Were shadowed on the wall 

She stood a little nervous 

Half lit by the neon light 

That flashed in many colours 

Through the darkness of the night

The skin on his face 

Like a well worn saddle 

Smiled as he said goodnight 

At the melody motel 

It was business as usual 

As the girls wiped the tears from their eyes 

His shirt lay by his bedside 

His jeans down by his feet 

She swallowed hard and mumbled 

With the key between her teeth 

On went the television 

The picture flickering slow 

Top cat in the alley way 

As they sat there all alone 

Photos 

He drove back up his driveway 

In his town and country car 

His wife was cooking chicken 

With a baby in her arms 

The smell of home cooked dinner 

Filled the air at home that night 

Screaming Officer Dibble 

In the TV's flickering light 

Slumped in his favourite armchair 

His face as grey as stone 

His feet up on the table 

Next to the chicken bones 

He seemed to show no feelings 

Picking corn out from his teeth 

Police down at the motel 

As the blood dried on the sheets
