He's coming round tonight
  Catching the train out
  Started work today
  It's no fun but it pays
  One thing that you're sure of
  He won't ever let you down
  S'posed to leave at eight
  But the sitters late
  Times run out to go
  To that Even show
  One thing that you're sure of
  He won't ever let you down
  He could never hurt you
  But it's so much to get involved
  I drowned in glory to tell this story
  Of self denial and choices final
  He was there for you
  When your ex shot through
  But can you really count
  On him sticking round?
  One thing that you're sure of
  He won't ever let you down
  He could never hurt you
  But it's so much to get involved
  I drowned in glory to tell this story
  Of self denial and choices final
  Can't change what happened my youths been shattered
  Now can I really bring him down with me
  He can't play father to your son
  When he's eighteen years young!
  I drowned in glory to tell this story
  Of self denial and choices final
  Can't change what happened my youth's been shattered
  Now can I really bring him down with me.
