Look At Us Now Dad - Banoffee

I didn’t know

The things you knew then

She locked herself away to die

I’ll never know

The thing you’ve seen

A little boy so small not allowed to cry

Mumma with a bottle in her hand

Dadda with a post war muddle

I don’t wanna see you struggle no more

And I know you’re my dadda

I know you’re mine

I wanna be kind to you —

Trouble wasn’t subtle back then

It’s the belt or it’s the beer bottle

I don’t wanna see you struggle no more

Call me on satellite

You know I got time time

I wanna be kind to you

You know that I try for you

I wanna make time

You know that I try

I’ve always got time for you

I’ll never know

Why we stumble so low

I locked myself away to die

Never alone

With calluses on fingers and all toes

What was theirs is yours and now it’s mine

I wanna be kind to you

You know that I try for you

I wanna make time

You know that I try

I’ve always got time for you

I wanna be kind to you

You know that I try for you

I wanna make time

You know that I try

I’ve always got time for you

Look at me now dad

Do you see we got out dad

Was sick and I’m well dad

What a wonderful life we have —

You were a sad boy dad

Drinking too many tins dad

You read all the things

And found love dad

You found love dad

Well look at us now

Still driving us all mad

We know you love attention

That flicker in your eye dad

Why you wanna cause friction?

You’re out the door before we can tell you to be dad —

You really drive us all mad dad

You really drive us up the wall dad

You really drive us all mad

I wanna be kind to you

You know that I try for you

I wanna make time

You know that I try

I’ve always got time for you

I wanna be kind to you

You know that I try for you

I wanna make time

You know that I try

I’ve always got time for you

Look at me now dad

Look at you now dad

Look at us now dad

On top of the world dad

Look at me now dad

Look at you now dad

Look at us now dad

Look at us now dad

Look at us now dad
