There's a portrait In a back room, Which I keep for days upon, which I relent, And gaze for hours on the muscle, skin and bone Of some imaginary friend.
So how about it? Show me, please, how I will look in twenty years, And let me, please, Interpret history in every line and scar That's painted there in front of me.
It doesn't matter what I'm thinking, What I tell myself to do. I'll end up calling. I stay in to defrost the fridge. Now the kid has gone to bed, A feeling of dread. At least when she's around the trouble's there; It's worse to wake up with her falling round the room.
Listen, Johnny; You're like a mother To the girl you've fallen for, And you're still falling.
Listen, Johnny; You're like a mother To the girl you've fallen for, And you're still falling. And if they come tonight You'll roll up tight, And take whatever's coming to you next.
