Don’t marry her, have me

[Timeinabottle]

I’m a child of the 80’s, teen of the 90’s. I was 18 when this song by The Beautiful south came out. Saw the video of it today and it reminded me.
I was skinny, pretty wild, fairly gorgeous… looking back…I remember thinking ‘Poor guy, what a boring life…’
I’m 44 now and I’d likely be seen as that boring wife and my Dh as the guy with all the weekend jobs and child centred things to do…made me think a bit about how if he ever secretly feels like escaping to San Francisco Bay with a younger woman for a more exciting life 🤣
What a horrible song and why aren’t there any about women being in this position and craving some excitement 🤷🏻‍♀️

I view it as a song from a woman who has failed to get her man , rather than a man wanting excitement. They also did A Little Time, which is a woman kicking out her straying man.

I love the video to that song. With all those knives sticking out around his head and the decapitated Teddy bear.

Personal favourite by The Beautiful South regarding the changing of the couple in a relationship is Let Love Speak Up Itself

when your socks smell pf angels are the lyrics that always get me

My era
Great song.
I just don't overthink random song lyrics.

[quote Glugglejug]@Thewindwhispers they’re not happily married!! She’s a phd in ‘I told you so’ and he’s got a ‘knighthood in I’m not listening’.

It’s a fantastic song about an unhappy marriage and what might have been if you make different choices. You don’t have to root for any of them. It just is what it is.

I love the beautiful south. There’s a username on here ‘Jenniferalisonphillipasue’ which I ALWAYS smile when I see.[/quote]
Love that name too

It's just a song!! Pretty sure there's plenty of wives in long marriages who secretly fantasise about a wild fling with another man......isn't there?
