Joel Plaskett - The News of Your Son lyrics

I'm sorry father I didn't want to be the one To tell you about the news of your son He was a failure second to none And that's not all And that's not all It's true he never worked a day in his life When he lifted a finger it was to turn out the light Don't rely on him to pa** on what's wrong and right When you're gone When you're gone He never had a head for figures and numbers He never had a heart for love and for letters He was never too swift with his words or his hands You know he never meant to place those kinds of demands On you On you When you broke your leg he took the crutch But lately he don't remember it all that much He just thinks about lying in the frozen gra** His body cold and wet down by the overpa** You know he never meant to come across so f**in' cra** But love is like that Love's like that Sure it is
