lyrics

ten to six
didn’t sleep a wink
morning’s cold
bones frozen stiff
you’re getting old

work hard
boss complaining ‘bout jews and chinks
any talk is about the game
you paint every surface in the room
it all looks the same

You say it’s faded the colours are no longer bright
Maybe you’re right babe
Everything changes but I’ll always keep on the light for you

home round three
to dirty dishes
an over crowded house
to left out margarine
so you give the kitchen a quick clean

too tired to read
laying on your bed and take a nap
holding the Lawrence
you got from Kate
you’re trying not to sleep to late

You say it’s faded the colours are no longer bright
Maybe you’re right babe
Everything changes but I’ll always keep on the light for you

try not to fall asleep on the highway
try to keep your car a little tidy
try to keep your mind from letting go
you listen to the radio
Bigsy gives you a smile

you’re always trying to be better
in the middle of the shit
saving for a a place but we’ve only got a bit
when you’re not too tired you have a play on the guitar

You say it’s faded the colours are no longer bright
Maybe you’re right babe
Everything changes but I’ll always keep on the light for you

I’ll always keep on this light
