Don't Bring Your Work to Bed
Love's Appeal Beyond Work: Don't Let It Bedrift Your Heart
Lyrics
Driven by ambition
Expressing the motivation or drive derived from ambition.
Do know, my love, you're missing
Acknowledging that the speaker's love is absent and missed.
All the splendours, all the wonders
Highlighting the beauty and marvels that the absent love is missing.
All the days I have squandered
Regret over wasted days in the absence of the loved one.
Thoughts of you to guide me
Desire for thoughts of the absent lover to provide guidance.
Forever here beside me
Expressing a longing for the constant presence of the loved one.
All these hours beneath the covers
Reference to spending time together beneath the covers, possibly intimate moments.
All those clouds up there above us
Awareness of challenges or problems represented by clouds in the relationship.
It seems like eternities are wasted
Expression of the perceived length of time wasted without the loved one.
Every night you're away I'm ever so frustrated
Frustration felt during the absence of the loved one each night.
I need you here but I'm all alone instead
Desire for the loved one's physical presence, contrasting with being alone.
My love, don't bring your work to bed
A plea for the loved one not to bring work-related stress or concerns into the shared space of bed.
I don't care about your little anecdotes
Disinterest in the loved one's stories or jokes from work.
Or your countless, pointless inside jokes
Rejection of the trivial and meaningless aspects of the loved one's professional life.
All the bosses you call pricks
Mention of unpleasant experiences with bosses.
All the arses you've been forced to lick
Expression of distaste for compromising situations at work.
I just want you here beside me
Yearning for the loved one's physical presence and support.
Two dishpan hands to hold me
Desire for the simple, comforting touch of the loved one's hands.
I want to love you endlessly
Longing for an enduring and uninterrupted love.
Before I fall asleep
Expressing a desire to experience love before falling asleep.
It seems like eternities are wasted
Reiteration of the perceived prolonged time spent without the loved one.
Every night you're away I'm ever so frustrated
Continued frustration during the nightly absence of the loved one.
I need you here but I'm all alone instead
Reiteration of the need for the loved one's physical presence.
My love, don't bring your work to bed
Reiteration of the plea for the loved one to keep work-related stress out of the shared bed.
