"Can't Do Both" lyrics

"Can't Do Both"

(I want to go to Spain)
Mr. & Mrs. Almost
(I want to fight a bull)
Had a double income life
(And meet with my old flame)
She worked every evening
(Behind a castle wall)
He had a nine to five
(And as we smoke Madeira)
The first year was so easy
(And drink our guitars)
The second was alright
(You'll pirouette beside me)
But it was halfway through the third year
(And I'll whisper to the stars)
When she turned to him and cried

Looking out for you
Looking out for me
But I can't do both obviously
Looking out for you
Looking out for me
But I can't do both

(I'll go to the Chatham Islands)
They love to be together
(Be the first to see the sun)
But now they hardly get the chance
(And as I hang my washing out)
He gives her a smile of welcome
(I'll watch the colours run)
And she leaves him a parting glance
(And one day late in August)
They said when they got married
(I'll get your telegram)
There will be no compromise
(You'll be my lie detector)
Now they burn down one side only
(I'll be your radio ham)
That's the story of our lives

Looking out for you
Looking out for me
But I can't do both obviously
Looking out for you
Looking out for me
But I can't do both

Have you heard about the modern couple
They had everything
Their income was double
But now they're losing sight of each other
They thought they had it all
But now they're falling out of love

Looking out for you
Looking out for me
Looking out for you
Looking out for me

They thought they had it all
Now the writing's on the wall
Their love is on the line
They're running out of time
Can't do both
