Number One Son Lyrics - Camera Obscura

Took a walk in the park for a laugh, we drank sparkling wine 

Oh yeah, it was dark, trees could not be identified 

The girl you were with, did she have you on your knees? 

I shut my mouth, my ears 

I don't want to hear you, please 

Now you're skipping school, going to listen to records 

Wrapped up in mohair dissing your elders 

Dip a chocolate finger, take a sip from my cup 

Remember what you're dad said "button your lip" 

You've got to toughen up for him 

He's the kind who will do you in 

I should know that it's no fun 

You will never be number one 

Number one son 

God I've tried to help but I think I just hinder 

Ask a better girl could she ever be kinder 

Love, unlike lightning, can strike you twice 

I don't know much, please take my advice
