just checkin'
Singer:beautiful south, the
just to see his guilty face
he's been dead twenty years but i sort of miss the chase
i've seen folk just like her
pop their noses round the door
if this is where their husband was between 1 and 4
when he's moved from old white hart
and he's doing the old graveyard
we're running a check. on the love we had taken away
we're running a check. that death wasn't fortnight astray
the mask of sobriety for afternoons he'd save
if he could fool me regularly he'd certainly fool his grave
i've seen those widows pray for the hunt that was taken away
they pretend they've just popped by like they popped by yesterday
i came round here in case he left a slate
no one settles up around here
like the widowed or the late
we've seen folk like you settle bills or family feuds
but no one's bought a drink for those that death excludes
