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 fucking 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?
