Chill Factor (Live)

Chill factor

The pretenders

She's getting older

Yeah she's getting wise

But a change has changed the girl

Gone's the sparkle from her eyes

She wants to be a good mother

So she'll do the best she can

But what about the other

What about the man

Well it's cold to leave a woman

With family on her own

It's chill factor

To the bone

Resignation

In her sighs

Is a sorry indication

Of how time

Can brutalise

Take away the hope

And the will will follow

Take away the faith

And goodbye tomorrow

Well it's cold to leave a woman

With family on her own

It's chill factor

To the bone

She had her dreams too

But how can she pursue

Her ambitions be they great or small

You took her wings and flew

But remember when you're through

Your rise was due

To somebody else's fall

When the hard part's over

And the kids are almost grown

You'll be their big hero

Whenever you make it home

Shower them with presents

Things she could never buy

Delight them with your stories

About the great big great big world outside

But dig

It's cold to leave a woman

With family on her own

It's chill factor

Chill factor

To the bone
