Beautiful South The The Rocking Chair Lyrics

The Rocking Chair Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 Here i walk, here i walk

 Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk

 

 Here i am, here i am

 With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan

 

 And you thought you'd found your own little look

 How i misjudged, how i mistook

 And you thought you'd found the style of your hair

 I guess tonight i'll take, i'll take these troubles to

 The rocking chair

 

 So i'll take these high-heeled shoes

 And yes i'll take these traditional views

 I'll take this deep despair

 Of a 30 year old square, to the rocking chair

 

 Here i sit, here i sit

 Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit

 Here i stand, here i stand

 Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land

 

 And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak

 Where the wolf-whistle rung there's a deafening shriek

 Blowing kisses into thin air

 I guess tonight i'll take, i'll take these troubles to

 The rocking chair

 

 So i'll take this awkward stance

 And i'll take this sexless dance

 I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square

 To the rocking chair

 

 Am i skinny? a shade too fat?

 Mmmm...my friend the cat knows all about that

 Am i happy?

 (here i sit, here i sit)

 Just a little sad

 (looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit)

 Mmmm...my friend the cat knows all about that

 Am i skinny?

 (here i walk, here i walk)

 A shade too fat?

 (looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk)

 My friend the cat knows all about that
