about

For this joint release, Kirsty McGee & The Hobopop Collective have recorded 'Wife', a song from the 'How The Caged Bird Sings' album by The Brute Chorus. In return, the Brutes have recorded the previously unreleased Kirsty McGee song 'Alligator Teeth'.

lyrics

If I had a wife
She’d be beauttiful
Cold as the night
Is pin-pricked and blue
If I had a wife
She’d be just like you

If I had a wife
She’d be like no one else
Keep herself to herself
A pin-pricked mystery who
If I didn’t know better
I would say
That she was like you

If I had a wife
If I had a wife
If I had a wife

If I had a wife
She’d let life come between us
Then she’d kiss me like Judas
With a tear in her eye
Then she’d lay me like Judith
One last time
And leave me to die

So who needs a wife?
Who needs a wife?
Who needs a wife?

Cos if I had a wife
If I had a wife
She'd be just like you.

Her continuously evolving musical personality is proof that a freedom from artistic restraints can sometimes produce a unique, enthralling and original voice with a rare honesty. ... more
