Beautiful South - The Rocking Chair Lyrics
(heaton/rotheray)Here I walk, here I walkLooking for an angels wings in the den of the hawkHere I am, here I amWith a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tanAnd you thought youd found your own little lookHow I misjudged, how I mistookAnd you thought youd found the style of your hairI guess tonight Ill take, Ill take these troubles toThe rocking chairSo Ill take these high-heeled shoesAnd yes Ill take these traditional viewsIll take this deep despairOf a 30 year old square, to the rocking chairHere I sit, here I sitLooking for a warming smile in a house of cold witHere I stand, here I standTorn between the balding drunk and no mans landAnd theyll tell you when youve reached your peakWhere the wolf-whistle rung theres a deafening shriekBlowing kisses into thin airI guess tonight Ill take, Ill take these troubles toThe rocking chairSo Ill take this awkward stanceAnd Ill take this sexless danceIll take this deep despair of a 30 year old squareTo the rocking chairAm I skinny? a shade too fat?Mmmm...my friend the cat knows all about thatAm 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 thatAm I skinny?(here I walk, here I walk)A shade too fat?(looking for an angels wings in the den of the hawk)My friend the cat knows all about that
