Lyrics St John's Wood Affair - Nirvana

St John's Wood Affair

Mother closed the bathroom door you said you’ve seen it all before when you
were sweet sixteen
Daughter don’t you get upset you’re not too old to learn yet while you are
in-between
People you don’t seem to care if what you breathe is tin canned air you’ve got
to compromise
Vicar would you like some cake you’re sure you’re not too bad mistake I think
you’re in disguise
As I grow older going too far down the road
Up St John’s Wood where I read on the notice board
That God is by my side all the time
Hello God, would you like to take a walk
Maybe we can have a talk, maybe I can fix you up
Maybe you can send me down
C’mon God, let’s go to town
Hello God, would you like to take the train
Just relax and stop the rain
Stop the rain from pouring down
Surely you won’t see me wrong
C’mon God, you must be strong
You refuse to stop the rain and I refuse to catch the train no need to get
excited
Don’t blame me for what I do cause baby I’m fed up with you but somehow feel
delighted
As I grow older going too far down the road
From St John’s Wood where I read on the notice board
That God is by my side all the time
Hello God, would you like to take a walk
Maybe we can have a talk, maybe I can fix you up
Maybe you can send me down
C’mon God, let’s go to town
Hello God, would you like to take the train
Just relax and stop the rain
Stop the rain from pouring down
Surely you won’t see me wrong
C’mon God, you must be strong
