Brickbat by Billy Bragg

Brickbat Lyrics

edit | print 
I ought to leave enough hot water
For your morning bath, but Id not thought
I hate to hear you talk that way
But I cant bring myself to say Im sorry

The past is always knocking incessant
Trying to break through into the present
We have to work to keep it out
But I wont be the first to say its over

I used to want to plant bombs at the last night of the proms
But now youll find me with the baby, in the bathroom,
With that big shell, listening for the sound of the sea

I steal a kiss from you in the supermarket
I walk you down the aisle, you fill my basket
And through it all, the stick I take is worth it for the love we make

I used to want to plant bombs at the last night of the proms
But now youll find me with the baby, in the bathroom,
With that big shell, listening for the sound of the sea,
The baby and me

I stayed in bed, alone, uncertain
Then I met you, you drew the curtain
The sun came up, the trees began to sing
The light shone in on everything.
I love you.

The sun came up, the trees began to sing
The light shone in on everything.
I love you.
Love this song? Put this box on your blog!

Trying to break through into the present

But I wont be the first to say its over
