Two great
European narcotics
Alcohol and Christianity
I know which one
I prefer
We never
went to church
Just get on with
work and sometimes
things'll hurt
But it's hit me
since you left us
And it's so hard
not to search
If you were still about
I'd ask you what I'm
supposed to do now
I just get
a bit scared
every now
Hope I made
you proud
On your birthday when
mum passed the forks
and spoons I put my
head on the table
I was so distraught
with you
You tidied your
things into the bin
the more poorly
you grew
So there's nothing of
yours to hold
or to talk to
You put your hand up
and interrupt the
conversation with
a but
People say I interrupt
people with
the same look
Sometimes I think
so hard I can't
remember how
your face looked
Started reading about
dreams in your
favourite book
I panic and pace
when I can't see
the right thing to do
You'd be scratching
your head through
the best advice
you knew
And I feel sad
I can't hear you
reciting it through
I miss you dad but
I've got nothing to
remind me of you
We never
went to church
Just get on with
work and sometimes
things'll hurt
But it's hit me
since you left us
And it's so hard
not to search
If you were still about
I'd ask you what I'm
supposed to do now
I just get
a bit scared
every now
Hope I made
you proud
I needed a break
when your book
about dreams
was taken
I needed to pray
or see a priest
that day
I needed to leave
this trade and just
heave it away
But I cleaned up
my place like you
so I could see
things straight
I never cared about
God when life was
sailin' on the calm
So I said I'd get my
head down and I'd deal
with the ache in my heart
And for that if God
exists I reckon he'd
pay me regard
Mum says me and
you are the same
from the start
I guess then you did
leave me something
to remind me of you
Everytime I interrupt
someone like
you used to
When I do something
like you you'll be on
my mind all through
'cos I forgot you left
me behind to
remind me of you
We never
went to church
Just get on with
work and sometimes
things'll hurt
But it's hit me
since you left us
And it's so hard
not to search
If you were still about
I'd ask you what I'm
supposed to do now
I just get
a bit scared
every now
Hope I made
you proud
We never
went to church
Just get on with
work and sometimes
things'll hurt
But it's hit me
since you left us
And it's so hard
not to search
But you used to
tell me how you
didn't know what
to do even now
And then I'm not
so scared somehow
'cos I know that
you'll be proud
I've got a good one
for you dad
I'm gonna see a priest,
a Rabbi and a
Protestant clergyman
You always said I
should hedge my bets
