Beautiful South Just Checkin` Lyrics

Just Checkin` Lyrics

I came in here just to see his guilty face

 I'm just checkin'

 He's been dead twenty years but I sort of miss the chase

 I'm just ckeckin'

 I've seen folk just like her pop their noses round the door

 They're just checkin'

 If this is where their husband was between one and four

 They're just checkin'

 

 Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard

 When he's moved from Old White Hart

 And he's doing the Old Graveyard

 We're running a check on the love we had taken away

 We're running a check, that death wasn't fortnight astray

 Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard

 When he's moved from Old White Hart

 And he's doing the Old Graveyard

 

 (I've seen folk just like her)

 The mask of sobriety for afternoons he'd save

 I'm just checkin'

 If he could fool me regularly he'd certainly fool his grave

 I'm just checkin'

 I've seen those widows pray for the hunt that was taken away

 They're just checkin'

 They pretend they've just popped by like they popped by yesterday

 They're just checkin'

 

 Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard

 When he's moved from Old White Hart

 And he's doing the Old Graveyard

 We're running a check on the love we had taken away

 We're running a check, that death wasn't fortnight astray

 Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard

 When he's moved from Old White Hart

 And he's doing the Old Graveyard

 

 I came round here in case he left a slate

 No one settles up round here like the widowed or the late

 We've seen folk like you settle bills of family feuds

 But no one's bought a drink for those that death excludes

 We're just thinkin', we're just checkin'

 We're just thinkin', we're just thinkin'

 We're just sinkin'
