Paul Heaton - Just Checkin' lyrics

[Verse 1] I came in here just to see his guilty face I'm just checkin' He's been dead twenty years but I sort of miss the chase I'm just checkin' I've seen folk just like her pop their noses 'round the door They're just checkin' If this is where the husband was between 1 and 4? They're just checkin' [Chorus] Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard When he's moved from Old White Hart and he's doing the old graveyard We're running a check on the love we had taken away We're running a check that d**h wasn't fortnight astray Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard When he's moved from Old White Hart and he's doing the old graveyard... [Verse 2] The mask of sobriety for afternoons he'd save I'm just checkin' If he could fool me regularly, he'd certainly fool this grave I'm just checkin' I've seen those widows pray for the heart they had taken away They're just checkin' They pretend they've just popped by like they popped by yesterday They're just checkin' [Chorus] [Bridge] I came 'round here in case he left a slate No one settles up around here like the widowed or the late We've seen folk like you settle bills or family feuds But no one's bought a drink for those that d**h excludes [Outro] We're just thinkin', we're just checkin' We're just thinkin', we're just thinkin' We're just sinkin', we're just sinkin'...
