a kind of loving - at swim two birds lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
sunday best still hanging there
no one left to hand them down to
pretending i’m blind following your steps
down to the church
smile and shake the young priest’s hand

[verse 2]
sit and kneel, times twenty*three
i could have sworn she aimed that smile right at me
walking home with richard and mum
company, the youngest son

[verse 3]
come ’round later for bagels and tea
phil scores a goal, but he’s grazed his knee
laura phones, inviting me ’round
with just a snooker cue, phil brings a fly to the ground

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
dad slumps at the dinner table
beery smile
slips a piece of meat between his lips
and falls asleep
[verse 5]
and i oil the breaks and tighten my hub
waiting for cousin phil to call
and i oil the brakes and tighten the hub
waiting for cousin phil to call

[verse 6]
coming up for time to get ready
laura phones, says “i can’t tonight”
i sit and feel embarrassed
at the jokes i know i shouldn’t get
in a kind of loving
a kind of loving

[verse 7]
helen and julie fill the room with laughing
the stranglers playing loud again
and pearce fights the dog in a parka in the tv room
and john is somewhere, perhaps he’ll phone

[instrumental break]

[verse 8]
and dad pops out for a pint or maybe three
and mum walks into the backyard
with a smile and a cup of tea
just for me
