Longing for the Night / Yeah Pause - Lyrics - Ghostpoet

Kids to school, waking up at 6 Half asleep and making baby bowls of weetabix Now dogs keep barking and the neighbours start shouting And next thing I know my eyes closed, just despairing But I can't stop caring Two sprogs to feed and material needs keep me on the narrow and straight Wait, new through the letterbox of long lost friends or an auntie with a lot of dosh Bless my cotton socks, bought from primani with a gyro that buys a lot Amazing how it stretches out, a bit like chewing gum Raised well but acting like a plum Got some A levels ain't dumb Life goes on (on) Rolling like a penny through the day And I can't stop, so I'm OK (K) Swatting at the worries in the way It's best to say I'm just longing for the night (night) I'm just longing for the night (time) I'm just longing for the night (night) I'm just longing for the night (time) Kids late, I blame the bus driver doing 20 mph And he wouldn't drive faster, I was steaming I was seething Man, I could've had a fight But my doctor told me stressing though it just just isn't right So I heeded, stayed calm and took the kids away to school See the faces of the teachers thinking 'he's a bloody fool' Give them evils, like knievel, and just just jump right out Then I skip heart runned around away roundabout Like a ghost, through town, bare stares out loud Just a lone-type figure just an insect in a crowd Watching strangers, dragging feet Have a ciggie for a treat Then it's right back home, Masterchef on the telly
