The Rocking Chair Lyrics - Singles - Beautiful South

(Heaton/Rotheray) 

Here I walk, here I walk 

Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk 

Here I am, here I am 

With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan 

And you thought you'd found your own little look 

How I misjudged, how I mistook 

And you thought you'd found the style of your hair 

I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take these troubles to 

the rocking chair

So I'll take these high-heeled shoes 

And yes I'll take these traditional views 

I'll take this deep despair 

Of a 30 year old square, to the rocking chair 

Here I sit, here I sit 

Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit 

Here I stand, here I stand 

Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land 

And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak 

Where the wolf-whistle rung there's a deafening shriek 

Blowing kisses into thin air 

I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take these troubles to 

The rocking chair 

So I'll take this awkward stance 

And I'll take this sexless dance 

I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square 

To the rocking chair

Am I skinny? A shade too fat? 

Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that 

Am I happy? 

(here I sit, here I sit) 

Just a little sad 

(looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit) 

Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that 

Am I skinny? 

(Here I walk, here I walk) 

A shade too fat? 

(Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk) 

My friend the cat knows all about that
