The Streets - Never Went To Church

Two great european narcotics

Alcohol and christianity

I know which one I prefer

We never went to church

Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt

But it's hit me since you left us

And it's so hard not to search

If you were still about

I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now

I just get a bit scared

Every now

Hope I made you proud

On your birthday when mom passed the forks and spoons

I put my head on the table I was so distraught with you

You tidied your things into the bin

The more poorly you grew

So there's nothing of yours to hold or to talk to

Put your hand up and interrupt the conversation with a but

People say I interrupt people with the same look

Sometimes I think so hard I can't remember how your face looked

Started reading about dreams in your favourite book

Panic and pace when I can't see the right thing to do

You'd be scratching your head through the best advice you knew

And I feel sad I can't hear you reciting it through

I miss you dad but I've got nothing to remind me of you

We never went to church

Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt

But it's hit me since you left us

And it's so hard not to search

If you were still about

I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now

I just get a bit scared

Every now

Hope I made you proud

I needed a break when your book about dreams was taken

I needed to pray or see a priest that day

I needed to leave this trade and just heave it away

But I cleaned up my place like you so I could see things straight

I never cared about god when life was sailin' in the calm

So I said I'd get my head down and I'd deal with the ache in my heart

And for that if god exists I'd reckon he'd pay me regard

Mom says me and you are the same from the start

I guess than you did leave me something to remind me of you

Everytime I interrupt someone like you used to

When I do something like you you'll be on my mind or through

Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you

We never went to church

Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt

But it's hit me since you left us

And it's so hard not to search

If you were still about

I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now

I just get a bit scared

Every now

Hope I made you proud

We never went to church

Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt

But it's hit me since you left us

And it's so hard not to search

But you you still tell me

How you didn't know what to do even now

And then I'm not so scared somehow

Cause I know that you'd be proud

I got a good one for you dad

I'm gonna see a priest a rabbi and a protestant clergyman

You always said I should hedge my b
