about

A song about having a little BUBBA

lyrics

You were two weeks early, so me being late is just
I’ve just got to get the tube up to the train and then the bus
And I hope there’s no delays, or closed lanes, But everybody’s on their lunch break
Fuck sake
I don’t need to mention,
But I don’t want to miss your entrance,
These traffic lights are taking the piss their gonna make me miss, one of the best bits,
And our relationship will be based on this and even though I know you won’t remember,
I will, and your mum will, and your mums mum will, and it will be talked about till, you turn 18,
And blow them candles out yeah I know they’re gonna joke about,
How I went and let you down before you even crowned,
But I’m always gonna be around, just one more roundabout and I’m there, can’t wait to smell your hair,

There’s this light that I,
Have heard a lot about,
I think it’s time that I,
I try to figure it out.
Now that you’re here

Maternity ward, too many doctors and long corridors and I can’t afford to walk like the sign says,
I’m running out of time trying to find the right bed and right then
I feel a mans hand land on my shoulder, your grandad asked if I’d like to hold her
And her meaning you, so I just nodded, walks me over starstruck and besotted
And if I’m being honest I was scared I’m a novice unprepared I can barely care for myself
But then I stared at this little girl, it felt like I fell, and the second that I held ya, I welled up
Well chuffed, a brand new love, and yeah your mum looked rough, but I swear I’d never loved her so much ,
I said scoot up and we had a little hug and cry, and whispered hi about thousand times, I hit the sky, as I realised, thank christ, you’ve got your mums eyes.
