Get Your Shoes On

(album: What We Did Today - 2017)

I still can't believe that you love me girl
I've always been an average guy
Never even been that sociable
I'd rather stay home and get
Some sleep with you, just eat with you
We've got kids to feed and mysteries to solve
And hands to hold and common colds to cure
And there's only one thing I know for sure
We need

One night alone
Yes just
One night alone
I know it's only
One night alone
But it'll be fabulous, fantastical
And quite good

Has it really been thirteen years
Only unlucky for some
I doubt I could have been more into you
If cupid had a submachine gun
And I know, and I know,
And I know, and I know
Sometimes it's boring and tedious
Feels like the feeling is leaving us but
Hold on just a little bit longer
Stay with me
And I know eventually we'll get

One night alone
Yes just
One night alone
I know it's only
One night alone
But it'll be fabulous, fantastical
And quite good

Don't interrupt me while I'm speaking
Daddy got drunk on the weekend
Tried to bust a move like MJ
Still be paying for it in ten days
Feeling uncomfortable like a futon
I just need my fucking kid to get her shoes on
I've asked her about five million times
And the five million rhymes
Is the… [*mumble mumble*]
See? Tiredness has got me rambling
Half the time I don't know what the hell's happening
I spend days just distractedly wrangling
Play Dough mangling, trampoline trampling
And I swear that we could sleep for a decade
Just as soon as we get this double bed made
But I know we're only heading for a headache
Four in the morning going off like a grenade
Still late night sipping on lemonade
Me and Mr Attenborough
Natures renegades
Next doors cats doing the moonlit serenade
Sometimes this is the hardest game we've ever played
Take a breath

One night alone
Yes just
One night alone
I know it's only
One night alone
But it'll be fabulous, fantastical
And quite good
