Nothing to Say

Remember walking with you by my side

You were my papa. I was your pride

And now I got children and I'm going grey

No time for talking. I got nothin' to say

Those Sunday dinners that we had at home

Now I got a house and I've got friends of my own

We can't do tomorrow what we did yesterday

It's best that we're going our separate ways, ok

How is your rheumatism? (Nothing to say.)

How are your chilblains? (Nothing to say.)

How's Aunty Mabel? (Nothing to say.)

So far, papa, I got nothin' to say, ok

Those happy days we spent together

We thought our world would never change

How the days go by

And things will never be the same

You keep pretending that everything's fine

So you make small talk to help pass the time

But all the words that you spit from your face

Add up to nothin' -- you got nothin' to say

How are those noisy neighbors next door?

I'll have to go soon 'cuz I'm getting bored

I gotta be home early to see a good play

So far, papa, I got nothin' to say

How is your life insurance? (Nothing to say.)

How is your trade union? (Nothing to say.)

How's your independence? (Nothing to say.)

So far, papa, I got nothin' to say
