|
I got your cards that you bought me, ignored them |
|
Because I thought calling would cause me a boredom |
|
And of course I'm ashamed to admit |
|
That every birthday wished me further away |
|
From your midst 'til I couldn't face taking the risk |
|
I guess I lost my faith a little bit |
|
But then I realised a fundamental basic |
|
More than any other you encouraged me to be creative |
|
So it might quite belated, but I love you, Margaret and David |
|

|
You were with me in my first days |
|
But then I shut myself away during the worst days |
|
A half-baked reason why I'm worth cake |
|
But now evelen star birthday is part of my wordplay |
|
And you bought me a calligraphy set |
|
I'm ashamed to say I haven't done calligraphy yet |
|
I was a little perplexed and treated with neglect |
|
And yet now I make my living fiddling with text |
|
Some of your gifts still bring back images |
|
The little set of carve farmyard miniatures |
|
The tree was my favourite piece |
|
And it still is when I play with my niece |
|
So yeah, I've done myself a favour at least |
|
Now I'm back on the rails and I'm taming the beast |
|
In a similar way to how my birthday cake did |
|
It's time for you two to be celebrated |
|
So it might be quit belated, but I love you, Margaret and David |
|
[Chorus] |

|
Photography was obviously a hobby each of you wanted me to do |
|
I never got into it properly |
|
But now I love it, kind of like a kid with broccoli |
|
My tastes took time to develop in the dark room |
|
And now I can't do without it, honestly |
|
You offered an option and I made you feel you'd been forgotten |
|
Now the season's hot and Evesham's lost |
|
Some leaves and blossoms but let's speak a little |
|
Let's speak a little more often |
|
[Chorus] |
