The bar closes early on the |
|
Sabbath day |
|
So me and my kid we hit the park to play |
|
Then it'd start to rain so we'd walk home again |
|
He asked why he was born |
|
I don't know what to say |
|
I don't feel guilty and |
|
I don't feel sad |
|
This mother ****ing life is the best he's had |
|
I said I've been there sonny and it ain't that bad |
|
I took my hits from the shits back when |
|
I was a lad |
|
So long ago and even though |
|
I tried I couldn't make him see the life he had cast in front of me |
|
And even though |
|
I cried I couldn't make him be the very thing |
|
I needed His mother'd make a scene when |
|
I come home late |
|
She look like she's dying but she's twenty eight |
|
I never loved that whore |
|
I never will no more |
|
Except for a month back in '84 |
|
The jam was playing and my heart stood still gazing at a shadow on the window sill |
|
So long ago and even though |
|
I tried I couldn't make her see |
|
I wasn't quite the man she thought |
|
I'd be And even though |
|
I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing |
|
I needed And even though |
|
I tried I couldn't make her see |
|
I wasn't quite the man she thought |
|
I'd be And even though |
|
I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing |
|
I needed Could she be the very thing |
|
I needed? |
|
Could she be the very thing the very thing |
|
Push yourself away from your one best friend |
|
Who's going to love you when you reach the end? |
|
Who will? |
|
Who will? |
|
Who will? |
