Beautiful South - The Rocking Chair lyrics

(heaton/rotheray) Here i walk, here i walk Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk Here i am, here i am With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan And you thought you'd found your own little look How i misjudged, how i mistook And you thought you'd found the style of your hair I guess tonight i'll take, i'll take these troubles to The rocking chair So i'll take these high-heeled shoes And yes i'll take these traditional views I'll take this deep despair Of a 30 year old square, to the rocking chair Here i sit, here i sit Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit Here i stand, here i stand Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak Where the wolf-whistle rung there's a deafening shriek Blowing kisses into thin air I guess tonight i'll take, i'll take these troubles to The rocking chair So i'll take this awkward stance And i'll take this s**less dance I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square To the rocking chair Am i skinny? a shade too fat? Mmmm...my friend the cat knows all about that Am i happy? (here i sit, here i sit) Just a little sad (looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit) Mmmm...my friend the cat knows all about that Am i skinny? (here i walk, here i walk) A shade too fat? (looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk) My friend the cat knows all about that
