Streets - 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 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.
