Mark Knopfler Lyrics for Song: Scaffolder's wife
 Lyrics for Album: Kill to get Crimson [2007]
 
 
 
 9378>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
 
 in/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
 
 in/and a hard life
 
 losing her looks
 
 over company books
 
 - the scaffolder's wife
 
 
 
 ...the scaffolder's wife
