Father's Day Lyrics

Artist: Frank Turner
Album: Sleep Is For The Week

When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk,
Because I wanted to walk the walk,
And not just talk the talk,
But it was a bit of a disaster because
I did the sides with kitchen scissors,
Because I didnæŠ° have any clippers,
And I didnæŠ° want to use a beard-trimmer br />
IæŠŽ made that mistake before.

When you got home you didnæŠ° want to talk about what IæŠŽ done.
You said IæŠŽ let you down, IæŠŽ fucked around, when I was only having fun.
With the way that youæŠ³e been lately, youæŠ³e no right to scream and shout.
You and I, weæŠ³e got a lot that we need to talk about.

WhatæŠ¯ the point in making vows that youæŠ®e never going to keep?
A lifetime lying awake means youæŠ£l never get to sleep.
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue,
Of all the things you do they reflect worst on you.

We all have our own devices
For handling mid-life crises br />
Usually involves a motorbike and
Suspicious fashion decisions.
But you choose to stave off grey hairs by
Lamely hacking at the sides
With lies and flimsy alibis
For your suspicious expeditions.

When I get home I donæŠ° want to talk about what youæŠ³e done.
Yes youæŠ³e let me down, youæŠ³e fucked around, but I guess you were having fun.
With the way that IæŠ³e been lately, IæŠ³e no right to scream and shout.
You and I, weæŠ³e got a lot that we need to talk about.

You always told me FatheræŠ¯ Day was just another way
Of selling Hallmark greeting cards
Twenty Years of waking sleep, of lying through your teeth,
Meant every FatheræŠ¯ Day spent wondering who the hell you are.

WhatæŠ¯ the point in us making vows that weæŠ®e never going to keep?
I keep trying to keep you up, but you keep on falling asleep.
And all the promises we made were painful and untrue,
But for better or for worse, I am turning into you.
