lyrics

We lived in a caravan park, winter nights were long
Mum pissed in a bucket to avoid the toilet blocks
You dressed like you were homeless, people offered you spare change
Mum grew her beard, didn’t believe in shaving

Pre CHORUS
What would I be allowed to share with a friend
I said I’d never forgive you, I’m sorry but I meant it

CHORUS
How could I ever love/someone
Be brought into this/world
Maybe I can forgive/you
I can’t forgive myself
How could I ever love someone
We were only doing our best
Maybe I can forgive you
I can’t forgive myself

You never taught me manners, how should I behave
Cousins sat with straight backs, elbows off the table
Aunty offered me cheese, wouldn’t let go of the plate
I didn’t know I was worthy, how should I thank you?

Pre-CHORUS

You and Mum split up, you stopped paying rent
You weren’t allowed in the park so I’d meet you at the fence
Drinking through the lattice at your story’s fevered pitch
(You’d puke up chorizo sausage) never skipped a beat

Pre-CHORUS
CHORUS
