| Sitting at the old kitchen table
|
| Peace and health and dreams
|
| Stretching out in the darkness
|
| Mother’s up the stairs with her ageing new boyfriend
|
| Cathy’s staying in to make sure nothing happens
|
| All aboard the freak parade
|
| I cover up my head and pray
|
| I’m praying for the light
|
| Down amongst the old city chambers
|
| Men in frocks debate all the policy changes
|
| Everybody bet on the boom and got busted
|
| Everybody bet and in the government trusted
|
| Grubby little red MP
|
| Yellow flapping hopelessly
|
| Tory like the cat with the cream
|
| Tory like the cat with the cream
|
| I studied you in history
|
| I studied in the library
|
| In days of old when knights were bold
|
| They’d settle it with sword and shield
|
| In days of old when knights were bold
|
| It’s settled by the king
|
| Praying for a friend is contagious
|
| Specially when it comes at the old kitchen table
|
| Listening for the swoosh of his quickening paces
|
| Watching for the smile on the bravest of faces
|
| How I wish you’d read to me
|
| Verses rich in swallows and trees
|
| Get me though the night
|
| Waiting at the old kitchen table
|
| Listening for my code listening for my instructions
|
| Surely now I’m here, I am destined for greatness
|
| I want to be the Queen pulling kids out of rivers
|
| All aboard the freak parade
|
| I cover up my head and pray
|
| Praying for the cat with the cream
|
| Praying for the cat with the cream
|
| I studied you in history
|
| I studied in the library
|
| In days of old when knights were bold
|
| They’d settle it with sword and shield
|
| In days of old when knights were bold
|
| It’s settled by the king
|
| It’s settled by the king
|
| It’s settled by the king
|
| It’s settled by the king |
