Never Went To Church lyrics
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 thingsll hurt
But its hit me since you left us
And its so hard not to search
If you were still about
Id ask you what Im 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 nothing of yours to hold or 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 cant remember how your face looked
I started reading about dreams in your favourite book
I panic and pace when I cant see the right thing to do
Youd be scratching your head for the best advice you knew
I feel sad I cant hear you reciting it through
I miss you dad, but Ive got nothing to remind me of you
We never went to church
Just get on with work and sometimes thingsll hurt
But its hit me since you left us
And its so hard not to search
If you were still about
Id ask you what Im 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 and 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 sailing on the calm
So I said Id get my head down and deal with the ache in my heart
And if that god exists I reckon hed pay me regard
Mum says me and you, were the same from the start
I guess then you did leave me something to remind me of you
Everytime I interrupt someone like you used to
If I do something like you youll be on my mind all through
Because I forgot, you left me behind to remind me of you
We never went to church
Just get on with work and sometimes thingsll hurt
But its hit me since you left us
And its so hard not to search
If you were still about
Id ask you what Im 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 thingsll hurt
But its hit me since you left us
And its so hard not to search
But you used to tell me how
You didnt know what to do either now
And then Im not so scared, somehow
Because I know that youd be proud
I got a good one for you dad, Im going to see a
Priest, a rabbi and a protestant clergyman. You always said
I should hedge my bets.
