Father Lyrics by Waterboys

Oh father, what happened to you
Did you have more urgent affairs to attend to?
Did business press, or did you just get bored
Thrown half your life through a one way door?
Sometimes it scares me, look in the mirror
And see myself growing up looking like you
No I dont have much time to waste getting worried
Ive got more urgent affairs of my own to attend to

Father, what happened to you
Havent seen you in a whole decade
Did you ever learn, did you ever grow up
Are you still as weak, do I make you feel afraid?
Do you tell your friends theres a son somewhere?
Did you ever wonder how he looks?
Did anyone ever give you my number?
Say heres two pence cos my phones off the hook
