Lyrics
(Spoken) I’m really glad we came,
It’s a beautiful party and your place looks fantastic.
Hello, I’m Janet and this is my husband, Bill.
Oh no, nothing. I just, I didn’t know you knew each other.
Christine,Christina.
No no no, you go ahead, darling.
I’m going to sit here for awhile.

She calmly staring, aware of me.
He hardly caring how much I see.
She lightly joking, a bit too fey.
He busy smoking in every way.

CHORUS
And I in my chair sit watching the game,
And oh, but it’s so familiar.
Yes, I in my chair know I should run away.
No, I think I’ll stay.

She warmly sighing, I need some air,
He thinks of trying the terrace there.
She runs her finger along his cheek.
He lets it linger, too weak to speak.

CHORUS
And I in my chair sit watching the game,
And oh, but it’s so familiar.
Yes, I in my chair want to bolt to the door,
But no, I want some more.

She filled with sorrow, she’s incomplete,
He says, “Tomorrow, why don’t we meet?”
She speaks of parting, “You know, your wife.”
He says, “I’m starting a brand new life.”

CHORUS
Yes, I in my chair stay the picture of ease,
Yes, one more brandy please.

(Spoken) Oh, are you ready to go, darling?
Nothing. No, I’ve just got a terrible headache.
It was a wonderful party, wasn’t it, wasn’t it, wasn’t it?
