Andy Partridge - Hold Me My Daddy lyrics

Hold me my daddy I never felt lower than dirt on the floor I say hold me my daddy I never felt like crying oceans before If this means war, why are we in it? Might've fired off a couple of rounds I didn't mean to begin it If these are the bullets That every father and son must chew Well then hold me my daddy I forgot to say I love you Hold me my daddy It hurts me to see grow men fighting this way I say hold me my daddy The young and the old dog aren't having their day This civil war, why are we in it? There's nobody on this flat earth Would ever want to win it If these are the hot coals That every father and son walks through Well then hold me my daddy I forgot to say I love you And if you agree we can make amends All this squabbling I've hated In another time and another place Where our history bends We could've been the best of friends And not merely related Well these are the right words to say They're difficult but still true Well then hold me my daddy I forgot to say I love you Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby ...
