THE WELL HEELED CROWD
She was a stunner as a young'un
When her star was on the rise
She caught the eye of an older man
A well heeled kind-a-guy
When her star was on the rise
She caught the eye of an older man
A well heeled kind-a-guy
He got around with a spring in his step
While he sported his brand new catch
While she dined 'alfresco' with the social set
Such a seasonal match
While he sported his brand new catch
While she dined 'alfresco' with the social set
Such a seasonal match
Summer in the Cote D'azure
the usual soirée...
Picking up a purchase here and there
set the right tone for the day
the usual soirée...
Picking up a purchase here and there

Commitment never seemed an issue
As they used one another with style
Burning the candle at both ends
Marriage would wait a while
As they used one another with style
Burning the candle at both ends
Marriage would wait a while
She sometimes thought about a family
when evening would fall hard
Raising the subject from time to time
Was met with flowers and card
when evening would fall hard
Raising the subject from time to time
Was met with flowers and card
In truth it seemed a little odd to her
that she simply didn't just 'fall...'
He offered that 'his life was hectic'
Which explained very little at all
that she simply didn't just 'fall...'
He offered that 'his life was hectic'
Which explained very little at all
Later on it was as the facts came out
That he simply couldn't 'sire'
He sent her a stunning necklace
And some suitable words in a wire...
That he simply couldn't 'sire'
He sent her a stunning necklace
And some suitable words in a wire...
"I felt you knew when we took this up
That I'm not a fatherly guy
I love what we do have together
But I don't really know just why?"
That I'm not a fatherly guy
I love what we do have together
But I don't really know just why?"
That night she looked hard in the mirror
And did not really like what she saw
He said he needed some time abroad
From below she heard the door...
And did not really like what she saw
He said he needed some time abroad
From below she heard the door...
The impact of this hit her hard
and made her clearly think
What is it that I really do ...?
Except go out to functions and ...drink"
and made her clearly think
What is it that I really do ...?
Except go out to functions and ...drink"
And most of her 'friends'
now seemed so very
dreary with their lot
Just "keeping up with their daily grind"
And paying for what they'd got
now seemed so very
dreary with their lot
Just "keeping up with their daily grind"
And paying for what they'd got
On further thought she began to muse
that winter came early this year
Recently she had just stayed at home
While he "paid for it all ...my dear"
that winter came early this year
Recently she had just stayed at home
While he "paid for it all ...my dear"
In that moment she came to realise
That he expected very little in fact
he flawlessly kept up his end of the deal
in that he always did come back!
That he expected very little in fact
he flawlessly kept up his end of the deal
in that he always did come back!
Looking again in the mirror so cold
Her thoughts they drifted afar...
I know of a perfect winter retreat
"I can spend a few weeks at the Spa"
Her thoughts they drifted afar...
I know of a perfect winter retreat
"I can spend a few weeks at the Spa"
