Breakfast Over Sugar (1985) Lyrics by William Finn

In Trousers (1985)

1985

[WIFE]
Pass the sugar please
I dreamt last night we flew to China
Your parents own a car
Don't they?
Can't we drive away?

May we talk as friends?
I dreamt last night
You almost held me
I cry as if on cue
Hold me
Hold him too
But stay. (Stay.)

Please drink
Your tea
Before it's
Cold

I can't believe
We've
Worked
To end up
This way
 
 
Strip me down
But stay...

Please

Please

Pass the sugar
Please

Pass the sugar...
Please

Please
 
 
 
 
 
 
[MARVIN]
The sugar please
Please
Jeez-us christ
You'll come through
 
 
 
 
Please
Drink your tea
Before it's
Cold
 
 
Pass the sugar
Please
You can't go on
As if you're dying
A martyr just won't play
Hit me
Strip me down
But say...

This is much better
For the both of us
Now things are better
For the both of us

Pass the sugar
Please
 
 
Please
Please
[BOTH]
Please
