Lyrics Look at Us Now Dad - Banoffee

I didn't know the things you knew then
She locked herself away to die
I'll never know the things you've seen
A little boy, so scared and not allowed to cry
Mama with a bottle in her hand
Daddy with a post-war muddle
I don't wanna see you struggle no more
Oh, and I know you're my daddy
I know you're mine, I wanna be kind to you
Trouble wasn't subtle back then
It's the belt or it's the beer bottle
But I don't wanna see you struggle no more
Call me on satellite
You know I got time, time
I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time, you know that I try
I always got time for you
We'll never know why we stumbled so low
I locked myself away to die
Never alone, but callouses on fingers and all toes
What was theirs is yours, and now it's mine
(I wanna be kind) I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time, you know that I try
I always got time for you
I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time, you know that I try
I always got time for you
Look at me now, Dad
Do you see we got out, Dad?
Was sick and I'm well, Dad
What a wonderful life we have
You were a sad boy, Dad
Drinking too many tins, Dad
You read all the things and found love, Dad
You found love, Dad
Well, look at us now (Look at us now, Dad)
Still driving us all mad
We know you love attention (Look at us now, Dad)
That flicker in your eye, Dad
Why you wanna cause friction? (Look at us now, Dad)
You're out the door before we can tell you to be, Dad
You really drive us all mad, Dad
You really drive us up the wall, Dad
You really drive us all mad
I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time, you know that I try
I always got time for you
I wanna be kind to you
You know that I try for you
I wanna make time, you know that I try
I always got time for you (Time for you)
Look at me now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
I look at you now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
Well, look at us now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
On top of the world, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
Look at me now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
I look at you now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
Well, look at us now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
Look at us now, Dad
Look at us now, Dad
