Look At Us Now Dad

(album: Look At Us Now Dad - 2020)

I didn't know
The things you knew then
She locked herself away to die
I'll never know
The thing you've seen
A little boy so small not allowed to cry

Mumma with a bottle in her hand
Dadda with a post war muddle
I don't wanna see you struggle no more
And I know you're my dadda
I know you're mine
I wanna be kind to you
Trouble wasn't subtle back then
It's the belt or it's the beer bottle
I don't wanna see you struggle no more
Call me on satellite
You know I got time time

I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time
You know that I try
I've always got time for you

I'll never know
Why we stumble so low
I locked myself away to die
Never alone
With calluses on fingers and all toes
What was theirs is yours and now it's mine

I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time
You know that I try
I've always got time for you
I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time
You know that I try
I've always got time for you

Look at me now dad
Do you see we got out dad
Was sick and I'm well dad
What a wonderful life we have
You were a sad boy dad
Drinking too many tins dad
You read all the things
And found love dad
You found love dad
Well look at us now

Still driving us all mad
We know you love attention
That flicker in your eye dad
Why you wanna cause friction?
You're out the door before we can tell you to be dad
You really drive us all mad dad
You really drive us up the wall dad
You really drive us all mad

I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time
You know that I try
I've always got time for you
I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time
You know that I try
I've always got time for you

Look at me now dad
Look at you now dad
Look at us now dad
On top of the world dad
Look at me now dad
Look at you now dad
Look at us now dad
Look at us now dad
Look at us now dad
