Just Checkin' |
| I came in here, just to see his guilty face |
| I’m just checkin' |
| He’s been dead twenty years but I sort of miss the chase |
| I’m just checkin' |
| I’ve seen folk just like her, pop their noses round the door |
| They’re just checkin' |
| If this is where their husband was between 1 and 4 |
| They’re just checkin' |
| Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard |
| When he’s moved from Old White Hart |
| and he’s doing the Old Graveyard |
| We’re running a check. |
| On the love we had taken away |
| We’re running a check. |
| That death wasn’t fortnight astray |
| Nothing hits so definite |
| The mask of sobriety for afternoons he’d save |
| I’m just checkin' |
| If he could fool me regularly he’d certainly fool his grave |
| I’m just checkin' |
| I’ve seen those widows pray for the hunt that was taken away |
| They’re just checkin' |
| They pretend they’ve just popped by like they popped by yesterday |
| They’re just checkin' |
| I came round here in case he left a slate |
| No one settles up around here, like the widowed or the late |
| We’ve seen folk like you settle bills or family feuds |
| But no one’s bought a drink for those that death excludes |
| We’re just checkin' |
| We’re just thinkin' |
| We’re just sinkin' |
