Can Of Worms - Squeeze[00:00:02]
She was married and then divorced[00:00:19]
Things seemed to happen that way[00:00:23]
The children were confused sometimes theyd fight[00:00:27]
Sitting in their toys and games[00:00:32]
To them shes mother and I am their friend[00:00:39]
Who sits with them on his lap[00:00:43]
And sleeps on the sofa on alternate weekends[00:00:48]
No substitute for their dad[00:00:52]
Shes a very good mum[00:00:59]
As she tries to explain[00:01:01]
Everything that she can[00:01:03]
But a childs mind is sharp[00:01:05]
They imagine the worst[00:01:08]
Sometimes cant understand[00:01:10]
That theres so much to learn[00:01:13]
When you open a can of worms[00:01:15]
So to the park to play on the swings[00:01:27]
To give their mother a break[00:01:31]
When I saw their father walking down the path[00:01:35]
Heading down towards the gate[00:01:40]
I froze on the spot heart in my throat[00:01:47]
I hoped hed not see us there[00:01:51]
He soon disappeared and the kids on the slide[00:01:56]
Were happy and unaware[00:02:01]
She's a very good mum[00:02:08]
And she tries to explain[00:02:10]
Everything that she can[00:02:12]
But a child's mind is sharp[00:02:14]
They imagine the wors[00:02:16]
Sometimes can't understand[00:02:18]
That there's so much to learn[00:02:21]
When you open a can of worms[00:02:23]
I read the papers and made scrambled eggs[00:02:49]
The kids got ready to leave[00:02:54]
Their father was taking them for the weekend[00:02:58]
With pocket money and sweets[00:03:02]
They were excited as they waved goodbye[00:03:09]
And I went straight back to bed[00:03:14]
Their mother stood and watched as they drove away[00:03:18]
Standing on the front door step[00:03:23]
She's a very good mum[00:03:29]
And she tries to explain[00:03:31]
Everything that she can[00:03:34]
But a child's mind is sharp[00:03:36]
They imagine the wors[00:03:38]
Sometimes can't understand[00:03:40]
That there's so much to learn[00:03:43]
When you open a can of worms[00:03:45]
She's a very good mum[00:03:57]
And she tries to explain[00:03:59]
Everything that she can[00:04:01]
But a child's mind is sharp[00:04:03]
They imagine the wors[00:04:06]
Sometimes can't understand[00:04:08]
That there's so much to learn[00:04:10]
When you open a can of worms[00:04:12]
