"A Change Of Life (Live)" lyrics
Sheridan Smith, Hadley Fraser, Nicola Hughes & Amy Lennox Lyrics
(from "John Cassavetes' Opening Night (Original West End Live Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
What is driving this woman to
Do the things that we all need her to do?
Where's her sense of humour and fun?
All she does is look through veils at everyone
She has no goals, no sense of loss
Or desire for contentment
She is very
Alien to me
Pray say something that makes sense
It has to make sense
Tell me Myrtle how old are you?
You must know how it feels to be without
All the weapons granted in youth
That are gone after the silent disarmament
Thirty-eight or more forty-two?
Tell me Myrtle how old are you?
It matters
You understand
It must all make sense
It has to make sense
This woman is like all women
She seeks immortality
She doesn't know how
She's flesh without soul
You know what I mean
A monument to mediocrity
She's so middle class
She's not even a housewife
She's not even a housewife
Hey, that's going a bit too far
Could we please just keep it on the level?
Anyway she's too old for kids
Blindly throwing herself away into the danger
She says I'm stifling
What does that mean?
It just means she's having a change of life
When she's drunk, what does that mean?
It means she is having a change
A change of life
Tell me Sarah
Tell me do
This woman is who?
Tell me Sarah
Tell me do
Is this woman you?
She's having a change
A change of life!
Do the things that we all need her to do?
Where's her sense of humour and fun?
All she does is look through veils at everyone
She has no goals, no sense of loss
Or desire for contentment
She is very
Alien to me
Pray say something that makes sense
It has to make sense
Tell me Myrtle how old are you?
You must know how it feels to be without
All the weapons granted in youth
That are gone after the silent disarmament
Thirty-eight or more forty-two?
Tell me Myrtle how old are you?
It matters
You understand
It must all make sense
It has to make sense
This woman is like all women
She seeks immortality
She doesn't know how
She's flesh without soul
You know what I mean
A monument to mediocrity
She's so middle class
She's not even a housewife
She's not even a housewife
Hey, that's going a bit too far
Could we please just keep it on the level?
Anyway she's too old for kids
Blindly throwing herself away into the danger
She says I'm stifling
What does that mean?
It just means she's having a change of life
When she's drunk, what does that mean?
It means she is having a change
A change of life
Tell me Sarah
Tell me do
This woman is who?
Tell me Sarah
Tell me do
Is this woman you?
She's having a change
A change of life!
