Love Child

(album: I Got Here By Accident - 2021)

Daddy came here on a boat and
Mama came here on a plane
I got here by accident
But God doesn't make mistakes
He had something always lit up in his left hand
She was dragging round Jesus guilt
7 half brothers and sisters
With our glasses all half filled

I was a flower coming up through the pavement
Like a sad song ending in amen

I'm a Wild Wild Love Child
Looking for a wild love
1969 on speed dial
And Woodstock in my blood
I was the messenger and the black sheep
A lone wolf, somewhere in between
The soundtrack and the movie of
A Wild Wild Love Child

I was born twelve hundred feet from the ocean
200 feet from a bar
A product of the old kind of passion
You only find in the back of a two-tone car
Where I heard Rhiannon for the first time
My sister singing along for the last
Now she lives in the sky with the radio waves
Comes down when I play Fleetwood Mac

I'm a Wild Wild Love Child
Looking for a wild love
1975 on speed dial
And Rumours in my blood
I was a messenger and the black sheep
A lone wolf, somewhere in between
The soundtrack and the movie of
A Wild Wild Love Child

I'm a Nirvana tattoo and a steel guitar
A church camp kid with tarot cards
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart

A Wild Wild Love Child
Looking for a wild love
1994 on speed dial
And Nevermind in my blood
I was the messenger and the black sheep
A lone wolf, somewhere in between
The soundtrack and the movie of
A Wild Wild Love Child

The soundtrack and the movie of
