Sugar Mice Lyrics - Marillion

I was flickin' through the channels on the TV 

On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain 

Tryin' to piece together conversations 

Tryin' to find out where to lay the blame 

But when it comes right down to it there's no use tryin' to pretend 

For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame 

Blame it on me, you can blame it on me 

We're just sugar mice in the rain 

I heard Sinatra callin' me down through the floorboards 

Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme 

To the jukebox cryin' in the corner 

While the waitress is countin' out the time 

For when it gets right down to it there's no use tryin' to pretend 

For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame 

Blame it on me, oh you can blame it on me 

We're just sugar mice in the rain 

'Cause I know what I feel, know what I want, I know what I am 

Daddy took a rain check 

'Cause I know what I want, know what I feel, I know what I need 

Daddy took a rain check, your Daddy took a rain check 

Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me 

Blame it on me, blame it on me 

Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone 

When I heard them asking questions I knew that you were all alone 

Can't you understand that the government left me out of work? 

I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces sayin', 'What a jerk!' 

So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar 

Where I sit with the broken angels 

Clutchin' at straws and nursin' our scars 

Blame it on me, blame it on me 

Sugar mice in the rain 

Your Daddy took a raincheck, your Daddy took a raincheck
