The Prisoner Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

He's taking her away 

He's acting like a general 

Generally his game is so familiar 

He wants her to play 

With a toaster and a kettle 

While he spends his day 

Miles from the prisoner 

She reads the stars he reads the sun 

No wonder his IQ is below 21

He's helping her to see 

How happy she is looking 

Take it that he'll be 

No icing on her cake 

O how happy she would be 

If someone did the cooking 

He's helping her to see 

How a marriage can be baked 

Baked like a cake but without the file 

The tool that she needs to make her life worthwhile 

She's not a prisoner alone doing time 

To love and to cherish for all of her life 

To have and to hold, to lock up inside 

What can this man know about her heart 

To love, 'til death do us part

He's looking everywhere 

She is nowhere to be found 

And suddenly he cares 

His dinner's looking burnt 

There's a smell in the air 

There's a prisoner in town, 

He sits down in his chair 

His face fills with concern 

Concerned that he might not eat tonight 

She's broken out of jail and run for her life
