From:
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 thingsīll hurt,
But itīs hit me since you left us,
And itīs so hard not to search.
If you were still about,
Iīd ask you what Iīm supposed to do now,
I just get grubbinī scared,
Every now,
Hope I made you proud.
On your birthday when mom 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 thereīs nothing of yours to hold or to talk to.
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 canīt remember how your face looked,
Started reading about dreams in your favourite book.
Panic and pace when I canīt see the right thing to do.
Youīd be scratching your head through the best advice you knew.
And I feel sad I canīt hear you reciting it through,
I miss you dad but Iīve got nothing to remind me of you
[Chorus]
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 sailinī in the calm,
So I said Iīd get my head down and Iīd deal with the ache in my heart,
And for that if God exists Iīd reckon heīd pay me regard,
Mom says me and you are the same from the start.
I guess than you did leave me something to remind me of you,
Everytime I interrupt someone like you used to,
When I do something like you youīll be on my mind or through,
īCause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you.
[Chorus x2]
But you you still tell me how you didnīt know what to do even now,
And then Iīm not so scared somehow,
īCause I know that youīd be proud.
I got a good one for you dad,
Iīm gonna see a priest, a Rabbi and a Protestant clergyman,
You always said I should hedge my bets.
