[00:23.89]Sitting at the old kitchen table
[00:27.96]Peace and health and dreams
[00:30.73]Stretching out in the darkness
[00:34.13]Mother's up the stairs with her ageing new boyfriend
[00:40.20]Cathy's staying in to make sure nothing happens
[00:46.08]All aboard the freak parade
[00:51.87]I cover up my head and pray
[00:57.59]I'm praying for the light
[01:11.20]Down amongst the old city chambers
[01:15.15]Men in frocks debate all the policy changes
[01:21.35]Everybody bet on the boom and got busted
[01:27.28]Everybody bet and in the government trusted
[01:33.34]Grubby little red MP
[01:39.10]Yellow flapping hopelessly
[01:45.81]Tory like the cat with the cream
[01:50.89]Tory like the cat with the cream
[01:56.57]I studied you in history
[02:02.34]I studied in the library
[02:07.93]In days of old when knights were bold
[02:13.78]They'd settle it with sword and shield
[02:19.78]In days of old when knights were bold
[02:25.29]It's settled by the king
[02:39.48]Praying for a friend is contagious
[02:43.23]Specially when it comes at the old kitchen table
[02:49.49]Listening for the swoosh of his quickening paces
[02:55.95]Watching for the smile on the bravest of faces
[03:01.36]How I wish you'd read to me
[03:08.31]Verses rich in swallows and trees
[03:13.24]Get me though the night
[03:26.48]Waiting at the old kitchen table
[03:30.34]Listening for my code listening for my instructions
[03:36.69]Surely now I'm here, I am destined for greatness
[03:42.29]I want to be the Queen pulling kids out of rivers
[03:48.54]All aboard the freak parade
[03:54.11]I cover up my head and pray
[04:00.51]I'm praying for the cat with the cream
[04:05.82]I'm praying for the cat with the cream
[04:11.64]I studied you in history
[04:17.35]I studied in the library
[04:22.97]In days of old when knights were bold
[04:28.73]They'd settle it with sword and shield
[04:34.68]In days of old when knights were bold
[04:40.32]It's settled by the king
[04:46.25]It's settled by the king
[04:52.09]It's settled by the king
[04:57.96]It's settled by the king
