Although she meant well
She almost killed us on the drive home
Typical English summer hailstone
Typical of me when you're drunk and alone
Meanwhile, I've took enough to think I'm no one's child
I asked her if I've got my father's eyes
She laughed and sent me out for cigarettes
Yes, now you've scared me half to death
To stop us drinking in the week, babe
You know you're all that I got left?
And I wasn't meant to lose ya
Although I couldn't tell whether she's steaming or just dizzy
Frost covered up our windscreen
You should've left me where you found me
But like a Rolling Stone
She had her head out of the window
I don't know how she stole her mother's car
But I know exactly how she stole my heart
Yes, now you've scared me half to death
To stop us drinking in the week, babe
You know you're all that I got left?
And I wasn't meant to lose ya
She said she hates being a mess
It keeps me drinking in the week, babe
Because she loves me when I'm wrecked
And I wasn't meant to lose her
And although she meant well
She almost killed us on the drive home
Typical English summer hailstone
You only love me when you're drunk
