Skid Row - Cats in the cradle

Tekst :

My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin fore I knew it
And as he grew he said,
I m gonna be like you, Dad,
You know I m gonna be like you.

Chorus
And the cat s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man n the moon.
When you comin home?
Son, I don t know when. We ll get together then.
You know we ll have a good time then.

Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said, Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let s play.
Could you teach me to throw?
I said, Not today. I got a lot to do.
He said, That s okay. And he walked away and he smiled and he
said,
You know, I m gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I m gonna be like him.

Chorus

Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
I m proud of you. Could you sit for a while?
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
What I d really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please ?

Chorus

I ve long since retired, my son s moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
I d like to see you, if you don t mind.
He said, I d love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job s a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it s sure nice talkin to you, Dad.
It s been sure nice talkin to you.
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He d grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.

Chorus

Inne utwory

  • In the darkened room
  • Sweet little sister
  • Forever
  • Thick is the skin
  • Into another
  • Down from underground
  • Medicine jar
  • Get the fuck out
  • Breakin down
  • Ghost
  • Blitzkrieg bop
  • Here i am
  • Bonehead
  • Livin on a chain gang
  • Iron will
  • See you around
  • My enemy

    • Losowe utwory

    Last flight out

    I m So Scared That You Will See
    All the Weakness Inside of Me
    I m So Scared of Letting Go
    That the Pain I ve Hid Will Show

    I Know You Want to Hear Me Speak
    But I m Afraid That If I Start To
    I ll Never Stop

    [chorus]
    I Want You to Know
    You Belong in...

    Kissing me

    You beside me
    I have tried to hide all I can hide
    Afraid you’ll see me
    And be scared by all the thoughts i’ve tied

    Reconciliation
    My pride dying every day
    Days of wondering
    Confusion playing all it’s games

    You, holding me
    I am holding my breath in dismay
    You, kissing me
    Kissing me

    Slowly melting water,
    Clean the dirt...

    Distant love

    It was a night like any other night
    As it moved into a new day
    Came up to a crossroad
    Colors turnin to grey
    You had troubles way back home
    So you had a good excuse
    How could you resist this anyway
    Her big brown eyes made you lose your mind
    She knocked your defenses down
    All you...

    Nie ma ulic

    Robisz mi śniadanie
    Choć tak trudno rano wstać
    Jesteś obok Mamo
    Widzę Twoją twarz
    Tak było kiedyś
    Lecz ktoś już dorósł
    A ktoś odszedł spośród nas
    Świat się oddalił
    Jak Twoje dłonie
    Nic już nie jest bliskie tak
    Nie ma...

    Trembler le monde

    Le ciel s est entrouvert
    J?ai marché sur les eaux
    J?ai dansé dans ta clairière
    Et j?ai bu à tes mots
    Tu as mouillé mon désert
    Tu as doré ma peau
    Tout à coup tout s?éclaire
    Tout est plus beau plus chaud
