Up The Junction - Squeeze[00:00:01]
I never thought it would happen[00:00:10]
With me and the girl from Clapham[00:00:12]
Out on a windy common[00:00:15]
That night I ain't forgotten[00:00:17]
When she dealt out the rations[00:00:19]
With some or other passions[00:00:21]
I said you are a lady[00:00:23]
Perhaps she said I may be[00:00:25]
We moved into a basement[00:00:31]
With thoughts of our engagement[00:00:33]
We stayed in by the telly[00:00:35]
Although the room was smelly[00:00:37]
We spent our time just kissing[00:00:39]
The Railway Arms we're missing[00:00:41]
But love had got us hooked up[00:00:43]
And all our time it took up[00:00:45]
I got a job with Stanley[00:00:51]
He said I'd come in handy[00:00:53]
And started me on Monday[00:00:55]
So I had a bath on Sunday[00:00:57]
I worked eleven hours[00:00:59]
And bought the girl some flowers[00:01:01]
She said she'd seen a doctor[00:01:03]
And nothing now could stop her[00:01:05]
I worked all through the winter[00:01:11]
The weather brass and bitter[00:01:13]
I put away a tenner[00:01:15]
Each week to make her better[00:01:17]
And when the time was ready[00:01:18]
We had to sell the telly[00:01:20]
evenings Late by the fire[00:01:23]
With little kicks inside her[00:01:24]
This morning at 4:50[00:01:30]
I took her rather nifty[00:01:32]
Down to an incubator[00:01:34]
Where thirty minutes later[00:01:36]
She gave birth to a daughter[00:01:38]
Within a year a walker[00:01:40]
She looked just like her mother[00:01:42]
If there could be another[00:01:44]
And now she's two years older[00:01:50]
Her mother's with a soldier[00:01:52]
She left me when my drinking[00:01:54]
Became a proper stinging[00:01:56]
The devil came and took me[00:01:58]
From bar to street to bookie[00:02:00]
No more nights by the telly[00:02:02]
No more nights nappies smelling[00:02:04]
Alone here in the kitchen[00:02:10]
I feel there's something missing[00:02:11]
I'd beg for some forgiveness[00:02:13]
But begging's not my business[00:02:16]
And she won't write a letter[00:02:18]
Although I always tell her[00:02:19]
And so it's my assumption[00:02:21]
I'm really up the junction[00:02:23]
