lirik lagu billy bragg - the passion
the fear of a daughter runs high
in the mind of a father to be
for something is growing inside
but we don’t talk about it, do we?
in the long empty p-ssionless night
many times to herself she has prayed
that the baby will love her much more
than the big boy who stole her away
and sometimes it takes
a grown man a long time to learn
just what it would take
a child a night to learn
and sometimes it takes
a grown man a long time to learn
just what it would take
a child a night to learn
it pains her to learn
that some things will never be right
if the baby is just
someone else to take sides in a fight
harsh words between bride and groom
the distance is greater each day
he smokes alone in the next room
and she knits her life away
and sometimes it takes
a grown man a long time to learn
just what it would take
a child a night to learn
and sometimes it takes
a grown man a long time to learn
just what it would take
a child a night to learn
a long time ago
she saw visions on the stairs
and when she felt dizzy
her mother was always there
the home help is no help at all
i have not committed a crime
angels gaze down from the wall
is there a god? is there a next time?
