Chinese Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see you from the sky
And I wonder how long it will take me to get home
I wait for an hour or so at the carousel
I have a cigarette to pass the time
'Cause the traffic's hell
[Chorus]
I don't want anything more
Than to see your face when you open the door
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk
And in the afternoon, then maybe we'll talk
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
[Verse 2]
You wipe the tears from my eye
And you say that all that it takes is a phone call
I cry at the thought of being alone and then
I wonder how long it'll take till I'm home again
[Chorus]
I don't want anything more
Than to see your face when you open the door
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk
And in the afternoon, then maybe we'll talk
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
[Bridge]
I know it doesn't seem so fair
But I'll send you a postcard when I get there
[Chorus]
I don't want anything more
Than to see your face when you open the door
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk
And in the afternoon, then maybe we'll talk
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

It’s important this song. I think on this record and it’s, it was the only way that I could really write about my mum without it being really really nauseating. I guess that’s why you don’t really know it’s about her, but it’s, you know, that’s what I do love about my mum the most is her ability to...
