Never Went to Church |
| 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 a bit scared every now |
| I hope I made you proud |
| On your birthday when mum 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 |
| You 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 |
| I 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 |
| 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 a bit scared every now |
| I hope I made you proud |
| 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' on 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 |
| Mum says me and you are the same from the start |
| I guess, then, you did leave me something to remind me of you |
| Every time I interrupt someone like you used to |
| When I do something like you, you’ll be on my mind all through |
| 'Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you |
| 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 a bit scared every now |
| I hope I made you proud |
| 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 |
| 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 |
