BPM:      92 Released: 2006 Album:    Get On With It [Intro]               [Verse 1] A husband came home drunk each night And he thrashed her black and he thrashed her white He thrashed her to within an inch of her life Then he slept like a log did her husband. [Verse 2] As he lay and snored in bed A strange idea came into her head She went for the needle and she went for the thread And straight to her sleeping husband. [Interlude]               [Verse 3] She started to stitch with a girlish thrill With a woman’s art and a seamstress’ skill She pinned and tucked with an iron will All around her sleeping husband. [Verse 4] Husband awoke with a pain in his head He found he could not move in bed "Sweet Christ I’ve lost the use of me legs!" Wife just smiled at her husband. [Interlude]               [Verse 5] She thrashed him black she thrashed him blue With a frying pan and a colander too With a rolling pin just a stroke or two A battered and bleeding husband. [Verse 6] Isn’t it true what small can do                                  With thread and stitch and thought or two He’s wiped his slate his boozing’s through Goodbye to a drunken husband. [Outro]

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une femme victime de violences conjugales, dont le mari, ivre chaque soir, la maltraite violemment. Un soir, alors qu'il dort, elle décide de prendre une approche originale pour lui faire payer ses abus. Elle commence à le coudre pendant qu'il est inconscient, le privant ainsi de ses mouvements. À son réveil, pris au piège et souffrant, il réalise les conséquences de son comportement. Finalement, la femme se venge et met un terme à son cycle de violence, transformant son désespoir en courage. C'est une manière à la fois sombre et ironique de parler de la lutte contre la maltraitance.
