Brickbat - Billy Bragg

I ought to leave enough hot water

For your morning bath, but I’d not thought

I hate to hear you talk that way

But I can’t bring myself to say I’m sorry

The past is always knocking incessant

Trying to break through into the present

We have to work to keep it out

But I won’t be the first to SHOUT it’s over

I used to want to plant bombs at the Last Night of the Proms

But now you’ll find me with the baby, in the bathroom

With that big shell, listening for the sound of the sea

I steal a kiss from you in the supermarket

I walk you down the aisle, you fill my basket

And through it all, the stick I take Is worth it for the love we make

I used to want to plant bombs at the Last Night of the Proms

But now you’ll find me with the baby, in the bathroom

With that big shell, listening for the sound of the sea

The baby and me

I stayed in bed, alone, uncertain

Then I met you, you drew the curtain

The sun came up, the trees began to sing

The light shone in on everything

I love you

The sun came up, the trees began to sing

The light shone in on everything

I love you
