Graham Gouldman - My Father lyrics

My father Knows more than I'll ever know My father's Been places I'll never go I want to know (Want to know all the words and phrases) I want to show (Want to show his fine airs and graces) If only it were me My father's Fought battles I've never fought My father Brings pleasures I've never bought I want the sky (Want the sky and sophistication) And have the gift (Have the gift of appreciation) If only it were me But it's no use Being somebody else On my own two feet I've got meet The world alone I'm on my own, just me Independent and free My father Knows more than I'll ever know My father's Gone places I'll never go Don't have the sound (Have the sound of his voice, so charming) Don't have the guile (Have the guile of his smile disarming) If only it were me But it's no use Being somebody else On my own two feet I've got meet The world alone I'm on my own, just me Independent and free The son of my father
