Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway - Shane MacGowan, The Popes

The coat she wore still lies upon the bed

The book I gave her that she never read

She left without a single word to say

Her father didn’t like me anyway

She always wanted more than I could give

Cause she wasn’t happy with the way we lived

I suppose I should have begged with her to stay

Her father didn’t like me anyway

And Oh!

Daddy didn’t like the clothes I wear

And Oh!

Daddy didn’t like my hair

I suppose that if we tried to we could have found something to say

But daddy didn’t even care

To tell the truth I didn’t have the nerve

And I’m only getting just what I deserve

She left without a single word today

Her father was a right cunt anyway
