Where were you at six?
Six you said you'd see me, I borrowed time to be there,
I borrowed time.
I waited there til eight for you,
Eight you turned up awkward, I worried then you'd leave me,
I worried then.
And now I swear in the fuming air on a Kingston corner lost
And the world sits on my shoulder but it can't calculate the cost.
I loved you with a fierce wish, he took you six til eight
He hurts my pride he got inside my head
And it's too late - so you can go....
You can take away the person (you can go)
I was growing up to be.
Screaming with frustration, blaspheming, desperation
You can go.
You always kid yourself, you kid yourself I cared about you
And your ways and weakness - there's better ways...
I might have given you the wrong idea, I really wish I'd not
I never meant to lead you...to lead you on.
And now you swear in the fuming air on a Kingston corner shocked
And the passers-by raise eyebrows at the language you've unlocked,
He loves me with a gentle touch, the kids stuff it was great but now it's real
And I can feel the difference, no need to wait now
You can go.
You can take away the person (you can go)
you we're growing up to be.
Screaming with frustration, blaspheming, desperation
You can go.
Nothing ever moves, the wordless ever stare,
The shrugs of resignation as we observe the loud despair.
Nothing will ever change, the helpless ever cry
In the finger-snap of life
We go onwards til we die.
