He's coming round tonight

Catching the train out

Started work today

It's no fun but it pays

One thing that you're sure of

He won't ever let you down

S'posed to leave at eight

But the sitters late

Times run out to go

To that Even show

One thing that you're sure of

He won't ever let you down

He could never hurt you

But it's so much to get involved

I drowned in glory to tell this story

Of self denial and choices final

He was there for you

When your ex shot through

But can you really count

On him sticking round?

One thing that you're sure of

He won't ever let you down

He could never hurt you

But it's so much to get involved

I drowned in glory to tell this story

Of self denial and choices final

Can't change what happened my youths been shattered

Now can I really bring him down with me

He can't play father to your son

When he's eighteen years young!

I drowned in glory to tell this story

Of self denial and choices final

Can't change what happened my youth's been shattered

Now can I really bring him down with me
