[00:00.15]The Streets - Never Went To Church
[00:05.51]Two great european narcotics
[00:08.20]Alcohol and christianity
[00:10.60]I know which one I prefer
[00:13.51]We never went to church
[00:15.85]Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt
[00:19.97]But it's hit me since you left us
[00:23.04]And it's so hard not to search
[00:26.70]If you were still about
[00:29.01]I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now
[00:32.92]I just get a bit scared
[00:35.78]Every now
[00:36.69]Hope I made you proud
[00:39.92]On your birthday when mom passed the forks and spoons
[00:42.83]I put my head on the table I was so distraught with you
[00:46.61]You tidied your things into the bin
[00:48.06]The more poorly you grew
[00:49.74]So there's nothing of yours to hold or to talk to
[00:53.15]Put your hand up and interrupt the conversation with a but
[00:56.45]People say I interrupt people with the same look
[00:59.91]Sometimes I think so hard I can't remember how your face looked
[01:03.51]Started reading about dreams in your favourite book
[01:06.62]Panic and pace when I can't see the right thing to do
[01:09.68]You'd be scratching your head through the best advice you knew
[01:13.07]And I feel sad I can't hear you reciting it through
[01:16.18]I miss you dad but I've got nothing to remind me of you
[01:19.59]We never went to church
[01:22.00]Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt
[01:26.27]But it's hit me since you left us
[01:29.51]And it's so hard not to search
[01:32.88]If you were still about
[01:35.29]I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now
[01:39.50]I just get a bit scared
[01:42.11]Every now
[01:42.91]Hope I made you proud
[01:46.47]I needed a break when your book about dreams was taken
[01:49.79]I needed to pray or see a priest that day
[01:52.65]I needed to leave this trade and just heave it away
[01:56.06]But I cleaned up my place like you so I could see things straight
[01:59.42]I never cared about god when life was sailin' in the calm
[02:02.47]So I said I'd get my head down and I'd deal with the ache in my heart
[02:06.18]And for that if god exists I'd reckon he'd pay me regard
[02:09.46]Mom says me and you are the same from the start
[02:12.73]I guess than you did leave me something to remind me of you
[02:16.09]Everytime I interrupt someone like you used to
[02:19.50]When I do something like you you'll be on my mind or through
[02:22.43]Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you
[02:25.94]We never went to church
[02:28.45]Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt
[02:32.57]But it's hit me since you left us
[02:36.02]And it's so hard not to search
[02:39.13]If you were still about
[02:41.69]I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now
[02:45.61]I just get a bit scared
[02:48.46]Every now
[02:49.27]Hope I made you proud
[02:52.63]We never went to church
[02:55.02]Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt
[02:59.13]But it's hit me since you left us
[03:01.99]And it's so hard not to search
[03:05.82]But you you still tell me
[03:07.88]How you didn't know what to do even now
[03:12.45]And then I'm not so scared somehow
[03:15.99]Cause I know that you'd be proud
[03:19.92]I got a good one for you dad
[03:22.68]I'm gonna see a priest a rabbi and a protestant clergyman
[03:27.55]You always said I should hedge my bets
