(difford/tilbrook) |
| [00:00.42] |
I never thought it would happen |
| [00:14.88] |
With me and the girl from clapham |
| [00:17.34] |
Out on a windy common |
| [00:19.08] |
That night i ain't forgotten |
| [00:21.36] |
When she dealt out the rations |
| [00:23.40] |
With some or other passions |
| [00:25.50] |
I said you are a lady |
| [00:27.51] |
Perhaps she said i may be |
| [00:33.42] |
We moved into a basement |
| [00:35.49] |
With thoughts of our engagement |
| [00:37.47] |
We stayed in by the telly |
| [00:39.66] |
Although the room was smelly |
| [00:41.49] |
We spent our time just kissing |
| [00:43.44] |
The railway arms we're missing |
| [00:45.63] |
But love had got us hooked up |
| [00:47.79] |
And all our time it took up |
| [00:53.64] |
I got a job with stanley |
| [00:55.53] |
He said i'd come in handy |
| [00:57.63] |
And started me on monday |
| [00:59.58] |
So i had a bath on sunday |
| [01:01.71] |
I worked eleven hours |
| [01:03.63] |
And bought the girl some flowers |
| [01:05.58] |
She said she'd seen a doctor |
| [01:07.80] |
And nothing now could stop her |
| [01:13.62] |
I worked all through the winter |
| [01:15.51] |
The weather brass and bitter |
| [01:17.46] |
I put away a tenner |
| [01:19.38] |
Each week to make her better |
| [01:21.60] |
And when the time was ready |
| [01:23.10] |
We had to sell the telly |
| [01:25.08] |
Late evenings by the fire |
| [01:27.12] |
With little kicks inside her |
| [01:32.64] |
This morning at 4:50 |
| [01:34.71] |
I took her rather nifty |
| [01:36.54] |
Down to an incubator |
| [01:38.67] |
Where thirty minutes later |
| [01:40.53] |
She gave birth to a daughter |
| [01:42.57] |
Within a year a walker |
| [01:44.49] |
She looked just like her mother |
| [01:46.62] |
If there could be another |
| [01:52.47] |
And now she's two years older |
| [01:54.33] |
Her mother's with a soldier |
| [01:56.28] |
She left me when my drinking |
| [01:58.29] |
Became a proper stinging |
| [02:00.24] |
The devil came and took me |
| [02:02.22] |
From bar to street to bookie |
| [02:04.38] |
No more nights by the telly |
| [02:06.42] |
No more nights nappies smelling |
| [02:08.40] |
Alone here in the kitchen |
| [02:14.16] |
I feel there's something missing |
| [02:16.23] |
I'd beg for some forgiveness |
| [02:18.27] |
But begging's not my business |
| [02:20.16] |
And she won't write a letter |
| [02:22.47] |
Although i always tell her |
| [02:24.12] |
And so it's my assumption |
| [02:26.07] |
I'm really up the junction |
