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 things ll hurt,
But it s hit me since you left us,
And it s so hard not to search.
If you were still about,
I d ask you what I m supposed to do now,
I just get grubbin 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 there s 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 can t remember how your face looked,
Started reading about dreams in your favourite book.
Panic and pace when I can t see the right thing to do.
You d be scratching your head through the best advice you knew.
And I feel sad I can t hear you reciting it through,
I miss you dad but I ve 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 sailin in the calm,
So I said I d get my head down and I d deal with the ache in my heart,
And for that if God exists I d reckon he d 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 you ll be on my mind or through,
Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you.
[Chorus x2]
But you you still tell me how you didn t know what to do even now,
And then I m not so scared somehow,
Cause I know that you d be proud.
I got a good one for you dad,
I m gonna see a priest, a Rabbi and a Protestant clergyman,
You always said I should hedge my bets.
