Wife of Bath: Rough First Cut
"Wife of Bath" - Music & Vocals by Matt Gale; Lyrics by Keith Gilman
Wife of Bath
Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
In the future,
On the suture line,
There’s a scar -
Anyway.
Verse 2
Made my mind up,
On the mountaintop
(Up) Where it’s peaceful
And the rabbits have free reign.
Pre-Chorus 1
Yeah, you saw me comin’ all along.
Yeah, you had me goin’ all wrong.
Bet you never thought that I would see -
Guess you underestimated me.
Chorus 1
Oh, you had me over your barrel once,
Prayin’ that I’d return.
But the Wife of Bath in the mirror
Made me live and learn.
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
Can we leave
Things medieval?
Turn the table -
On a Canterbury tale?
Verse 4
Out of order
On the borderline
Where we all
Pass and fail
Pre-Chorus 2
Yeah, you saw me comin’ all along.
Yeah, you had me goin’ all wrong.
Bet you never thought that I could leave -
Guess you underestimated me.
Chorus 2
‘Cause you had me under your power once,
Prayin’ that I’d return.
But the Wife of Bath in the mirror
Made me live and learn.
Instrumental Break
Pre-Chorus 3
Yeah, you saw me comin’ all along.
Yeah, you had me goin’ all wrong.
Bet you never thought that I would see -
Guess who underestimated me.
Chorus 1
Oh, you had me over your barrel once,
Prayin’ that I’d return.
But the Wife of Bath in the mirror
Made me live and learn.
