Woman's World Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

The crown of the kingdom is given to the woman 

The kingdom of the kitchen where she says she shouldn't, 

There on the stainless steel her cigarettes and matches 

Whistles to the radio to every hook she catches, 

But the frowns 

Eider downs, 

Tie her down 

But she likes to wear the crown of the kingdom. 

She like the recipes a touch of oriental 

Steaming up the windows burning egg on metal, 

Sees in a catalogue a shiny new appliance 

Another role swallowed by the wonders of science, 

Lobster hands 

Omelette pans, 

Understand 

How the crown can stick like jam in her kingdom.

He's been so busy and she's been neglected, 

The problem is computed and always it's rejected, 

Out of her heart I catch a spark, 

And being smart 

The crown is left out in the dark now there's no kingdom. 

Fed up with the glory she abdicates her title 

Sitting at a bar stool she gives her day's recital, 

The family watch in horror 

As she staggers up the hallway 

Makes herself a sandwich 

As they're looking through the doorway, 

She goes to bed 

Leg by leg, 

Nothing's said 

There's no crown upon her head there's no kingdom.

Press the button on the toaster 

It's a woman's world, 

Tuck the sheets in on the bed 

It's a woman's world, 

Take your apron from your holster 

It's a woman's world, 

Shoot the crown off of your head 

It's a woman's world.
