Nervous of the girl's hand Making notes on clean white paper "Meet me at the bus stop later" None of us were pre-planned Love-making, slapdash babies Governmental cashback babies All your life You could escape But the big black hole is gaping Your life You didn't know You would survive this long Major poked your daddy's eye And smiled so sweetly, moved aside Never saw that boy's hand Creeping up your tracksuit How much did your father teach you? None of us were pre-planned But some of us were born this pretty On electric beaches, highlights in our hair
All your life You could escape But the big black hole is gaping Your life You didn't know You could survive this long Major stole your baby's crown And smiled so sweetly, turned around I had a dream that you and me were running Through the streets under the Christmas bunting I may be drunk but I think I love you honey So f** them all, we are forgotten babies We are forgotten babies We are forgotten babies Tell that to the lunching ladies We are forgotten babies We are forgotten babies
