Soft lips upon his forehead When time to let him go Be what he couldn’t be for me My goodbye beat his hello Man of the house I’ve now become And soon he’ll be forgot In time I’ll come to recognise I’m everything he’s not I wouldn’t wish him back again He’ll take away my peace My cage door finally opened Some kind of strange release Her callous words they cut so deep Got all the grandchildren she’ll need Plunged her knife and twisted hard Then laughed and watched me bleed She did us both a favour My life’s not safe in her hand Prefer the certainty of knowing Exactly where I stand I wouldn’t wish her back again She’ll take away my peace My cage door finally opened Some kind of strange release So now’s the time for adventure Forget that you’ve been spurned Know your worth and value Mind well what you have learned That life is full of every kind Of devils and angels too Some self-respect will see you right Seek out what’s good and true I wouldn’t wish them back again They’ll take away my peace My cage door finally opened Some kind of strange release I wouldn’t wish them back again They’ll take away my peace My cage door finally opened Some kind of strange release My cage door finally opened Some kind of strange release My cage door finally opened Some kind of strange release
