big mother gig – that day lyrics
when you were 12
you left school and stepped into h+ll
you ran out and bought milk
how could a kid know any better?
growing up in that house must have been tough
that irish thirst couldn’t get enough
and on that day you tried to save her life
how could a kid know any better?
and no one blamed you when grew and went away
but i bet you thought about it every day
with every step you’ve been running all your life from the day
growing up in your house was hard
i stood out and we stood apart
and i held it against you most my life
how could a kid know any better?
no one blamed me when i grew and went away
i bet we both think about it every day
with every step i’ve been running all my life from that day
this shared history
scares us half to death
this shared history
its for you, it’s for me and for the next
and will growing up in my house be bright?
we tried hard to get it right
but will she want to go away in spite
how could a kid know any better?
i guess i won’t blame her if she grows and moves away
but i’ll think about it every day
i hope she’s not running all her life from that day
