These other people This other life They trip to France or Italy Or die or leave their wife These other people That other life The one I might have lived The one without the strife Those other people And their tidy lives Their tidy houses Their tidy wives Those other people And their messy lives Their dead husbands Their missing wives I find... The life of a famous actress As far from my life As those memoirs of drug runners Or the stories from refugees Fleeing unthinkable brutality. My life... Potters on from day to day No big tragedies No big triumphs... Unless a word here And a phone call there Could count as either.

That other life
These other people This other life They trip to France or Italy Or die or leave their wife These other people That other life The one I might have lived The one without the strife Those other people And their tidy lives Their tidy houses Their tidy wives Those other people And their messy lives Their dead husbands Their missing wives I find... The life of a famous actress As far from my life As those memoirs of drug runners Or the stories from refugees Fleeing unthinkable brutality. My life... Potters on from day to day No big tragedies No big triumphs... Unless a word here And a phone call there Could count as either.
