Father

Oh father, what happened to you

did you have more urgent affairs to attend to?

Did business press, or did you just get bored

thrown half your life through a one way door?

Sometimes it scares me, look in the mirror

and see myself growing up looking like you

No I don't have much time to waste getting worried

I've got more urgent affairs of my own to attend to



Father, what happened to you

haven't seen you in a whole decade

Did you ever learn, did you ever grow up

are you still as weak, do I make you feel afraid?

Do you tell your friends there's a son somewhere?

Did you ever wonder how he looks?

Did anyone ever give you my number?

Say here's two pence 'cos my phone's off the hook
