Lyrics That’ll Be Us - Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott

That'll be us in our wheelchairs
That'll be us on the prom
That'll be us looking out at the sea
After the sunlight's gone

That'll be us on the bouncy castle
That'll be us on the ride
That'll be my hand in your hair
Well after the incoming tide

That'll be us in the bookcase
Holding our head in our hands
That'll be us on the back of the bus
Sharing a couple of cans

Swearing our way through the national anthem
Mocking the loyal and young
Watching those 'Help for Harry's march past'
Wishing the other side won
That'll be us as a shining example
To every love in this world
And this'll be the story everybody tells
When trying to capture the girl

That'll be us on mobility scooters
Roaring away at the lights
That'll be us on our pensioner's pedestal
Putting the world to rights

That'll be us in kebab shop
Piling it all on our hips
That'll be us avoiding the gym
And sharing a portion of chips

That'll be us in with a fist-bump
Every time England lose
Laughing at Lampard and Beckham
And that pitiful empire lose

Swearing our way through the national anthem
Mocking the loyal and young
Watching those 'Help for Harry's march past'
Wishing the other side won
That'll be us as a shining example
To every love in this world
And this'll be the story everybody tells
When trying to capture the girl

That'll be us in the graveyard
Never be you by my grave
Flicking the V's and cutting the cheese
Knowing not how to behave

That'll be us as a shining example
To every love in this world
This'll be story everybody tells
When trying to capture the girl
