The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Hugos Wife Lyrics

You'll go right where you've got to
There was no good reason not to
Killer nights you would have died for
To consider and provide for
To protect and take good care of
They were never made aware of
What they were putting you through
So you did what you had to

And you held your head high
You helped [?] your family get through it
They wanted to control you, but they couldn't
You just wouldn't let them do it
Now you couldn't and you knew it
Not on your watch, not in this life
No, not Hugo's wife

There were rules out on the front stairs
Acquisitions based on their affairs
Ignorance that was appalling
Which it was when they came calling
With the list they put you onto
Who do who and why they want to
Ruin more than just careers
There were rules on the front stairs

And you held your head high
You helped [?] your family get through it
They wanted to control you, but they couldn't
You just wouldn't let them do it
Now you couldn't and you knew it
Not on your watch, not in this life
No, not Hugo's wife

Are you not or have you ever been?
Is there anyone that you'll turn in?
Our best advice would be to save yourselves
Don't be shy, lie and comply
Sit by while the accusations fly
Free and forward thinking's being shelved
The radicals were refugees
There really were no guarantees
Like sanity and logic would return
Political audacity
That will go down in history
A lesson that we really didn't learn

And you held your head high
You helped [?] your family get through it
They wanted to control you, but they couldn't
You just wouldn't let them do it
Now you couldn't and you knew it
Not on your watch, not in this life
No, not his wife
No, not Hugo's wife

Not Hugo's wife
No, not Hugo's wife
