Icecream Hands - The Diplomat's Daughter lyrics

Could have been the time before or the time before that You were going out with the daughter of a diplomat All she played were The Chills and The Bats Then her father went up north and that was that On your own you've got the world on its knees On your own you can whistle up the breeze How come when you're with someone it's like a disease? Did it come down from your mother? Did it come down from your father? Or skip a generation for you? Could have been the only one who'd let you feel The way she could roll a smoke behind the wheel She taught you how to shuffle and how to deal Could have been the only one whose heart you'd steal On your own you're the king and you're the queen On your own you've got your own village green How come when you're with someone you don't know where you've been? Did it come down from your mother? Did it come down from your father? Or skip a generation for you? Say yeah, when everything feels alright Do you feel like rolling in the hay? Hey, yeah Do you feel like rolling in the hay? Hey, yeah Could have been the only one who'd let you be You met her in the office at the box factory Discovered a mutual love of stationery Could have been the only one who'd let you be On your own you've got the world on its knees On your own you can whistle up the breeze How come when you're with someone it's like a disease? Did it come down from your mother? Did it come down from your father? Or skip a generation for you?
