Up The Junction — текст песни (Squeeze)

(difford/tilbrook)



I never thought it would happen

With me and the girl from clapham

Out on a windy common

That night I aint forgotten

When she dealt out the rations

With some or other passions

I said you are a lady

Perhaps she said I may be

We moved into a basement

With thoughts of our engagement

We stayed in by the telly

Although the room was smelly

We spent our time just kissing

The railway arms were missing

But love had got us hooked up

And all our time it took up



I got a job with stanley

He said Id come in handy

And started me on monday

So I had a bath on sunday

I worked eleven hours

And bought the girl some flowers

She said shed seen a doctor

And nothing now could stop her



I worked all through the winter

The weather brass and bitter

I put away a tenner

Each week to make her better

And when the time was ready

We had to sell the telly

Late evenings by the fire

With little kicks inside her



This morning at 4:50

I took her rather nifty

Down to an incubator

Where thirty minutes later

She gave birth to a daughter

Within a year a walker

She looked just like her mother

If there could be another



And now shes two years older

Her mothers with a soldier

She left me when my drinking

Became a proper stinging

The devil came and took me

From bar to street to bookie

No more nights by the telly

No more nights nappies smelling



Alone here in the kitchen

I feel theres something missing

Id beg for some forgiveness

But beggings not my business

And she wont write a letter

Although I always tell her

And so its my assumption

Im really up the junction
