[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
