The Rocking Chair Lyrics

    (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
