Hold Me My Daddy - Lyrics by Xtc


Lyrics
(
Hold me.) Hold me my daddy, I never felt lower than dirt on thefloor. I say hold me my daddy, I never felt like crying oceansbefore. If this means war, why are we in it? Might've fired off a couple ofrounds, I didn't mean to begin it. If these are the bullets thatevery father and son must chew, well then hold me my daddy, I forgotto say I love you. Hold me my daddy, it hurts me to see grow men fighting this way. Isay hold me my daddy, the young and the old dog aren't having theirday. This civil war, why are we in it? There's nobody on this flatearth, would ever want to win it. If these are the hot coals thatevery father and son walks through, well then hold me my daddy, Iforgot to say I love you. And if you agree we can make amends. All this squabbling I'vehated. In another time and another place where our history bends, wecould've been the best of friends and not merely related. Well these are the right words to say, they're difficult but stilltrue, well then hold me my daddy, I forgot to say I love you. (
Holdhim. Tight. Hold him like he was a baby.)
