If I made it through Christmas without smoking |
|
'Til your parents went to bed |
|
If you made it through too |
|
Without sticking your nail scissors in my neck |
|
I'll buy you bras instead of pickled eggs |
|
Chocolate instead of chutney |
|
Good red wine instead of bad red wine |
|
Next time I remember your birthday |
|
I ate peaches straight from the can |
|
The juice ran down my tongue |
|
Over my lip |
|
Slipped down my chin |
|
Dripped onto your parents' carpet |
|
The air in here is dead |
|
But we're not finished yet |
|
Throw the back door open |
|
Let me see your breath |
|
I love you like a madman |
|
I miss you all the time |
|
I wait for the morning |
|
I will wait all night |
|
I mixed rum and coke and lemonade |
|
Asked for my presents in the kitchen |
|
Alone again at 3am |
|
I listened to them |
|
With sugar round the rim and ash around the edges |
|
Of the tiles and the tables |
|
You didn't sit up waiting |
|
But somehow slept sober |
