Well, I'm back to make your face 
So it smiles once again 
And harpoon you like a whale 
With a bent and rusty nail 

If your husband knew, he'd say 
That you're living in sin 
Well, if grinnin' is a sin 
That's the reason I'm here 
Back with you, Mrs Blear 

Sleep on, dear 
Deep and easy, our night man is here 
I'll steal your dreams for my shiny gold chain 
And you'll wake with your eyes full of rain 
Finding I've disappeared 

I don't think of yesterday 
Merely drum out the sound 
But forgetting you was hard 
That's why I'm back in town 

And you had a loveless week 
And the world's let you down 
But I'll make it up somehow 
There are ways, Mrs Brown 
That's why I'm back in town 

Sleep on, dear 
For the night wouldn't dare interfere 
And the ghosts of my cigarette play 
On the ceiling, and time drifts away 
With the burden it bears 

Remember me 
I've already forgotten you 
And make your beds for me 
For the things we ought not to do 

Drive us all 
'Round the bend
