Your Father And I Lyrics - Beautiful South

(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 wouldn'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
