The Rocking Chair

[Intro]

[Verse 1: Briana Corrigan]
Here I walk, here I walk
Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk
Here I am, here I am
With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan

[Pre-Chorus 1: Corrigan, Dave Hemingway & Paul Heaton]
And you thought you'd found your own little look
How I misjudged, how I mistook
And you thought you'd found the style of your hair
I guess tonight I'll take
I'll take these troubles to the rocking chair

[Chorus 1: Corrigan, Hemingway, & Heaton]
So I'll take these high-heeled shoes
And yes, I'll take these traditional views
I'll take this deep despair
Of a thirty-year-old square to the rocking chair

[Verse 2: Corrigan]
Here I sit, here I sit
Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit
Here I stand, here I stand
Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land

[Pre-Chorus 2: Corrigan, Hemingway & Heaton]
And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak
Where the wolf-whistle rung, there's a deafening shriek
Blowing kisses into thin air
I guess tonight I'll take
I'll take these troubles to the rocking chair

[Chorus 2: Corrigan, Hemingway, and Heaton]
So I'll take this awkward stance
And I'll take this sexless dance
I'll take this deep despair
Of a thirty-year-old square to the rocking chair

[Bridge: Corrigan, Hemingway & Heaton]
Am I skinny? A shade too fat?
Mm, my friend the cat knows all about that
Am I happy? (Here I sit) Just a little sad? (Here I sit)
Mm, my friend the cat knows all about that (Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit)

Am I skinny? (Here I walk) A shade too fat? (Here I walk)
My friend the cat knows all about that (Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk)

[Ad-lib]

[Outro: Heaton]
Are you happy? Are you happy?
Just a little sad?
Are you happy? Are you happy?
Just a little sad?
