Your Father And I Lyrics

    (heaton/rotheray)
    It was the middle of winter
    And i drove us in my car
    The snow started falling
    So we stopped off at a bar

    The beer started flowing
    And your mother and i took the floor
    But by the last dance we were tired
    So i booked a room next door

    So if anyone asks you
    If you come from heaven above
    You're from a one star hotel
    With a five star passionate love

    It was a hot summers day
    And we drove there in our car
    And your father was thirsty
    So we had to find a bar

    Well he couldn't stop drinking
    And he couldn't stand on his feet
    We had to walk to a hotel
    And book ourselves into a suite

    So if the teacher asks you
    Are you from heaven or are you from hell
    You're from a one star drunken screw
    In a one star motel
    Yes if the teacher asks you
    Are you from heaven or are you from hell
    You're from a pitch black toilet
    In a highway taco bell

    I'll remember the birth
    For the rest of my time on this land
    You're mother sweating buckets
    And me holding onto her hand

    Well your father was absent
    He claimed he couldn't find the ward
    Just tugging on mescal
    Trying to eat the umbilical cord

    So if anyone asks you
    Do you know where you're from, say yes
    You're from your mother's womb
    And your father's stinking breath
    And if they ask you how you got here
    Tell them just what it took
    Your father's stinking breath
    And your mother's stinking luck

    Your father and i won't tell the whole truth
    Your father and i won't tell the truth
