the very thing
Singer:stars
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
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
push yourself away from your one best friend
who's going to love you when you reach the end?
