This World Needs A Father

Hold on, he's coming Through the wheels of the star machine Hold on, he's coming Through the tears of your shit-stained dream In an anthem for the world Let him waltz you down the river Let him feel like boy or girl With his sci-fi lullaby Let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow So let's have one for the lovers And one more for the friends ''cause drink to you is all I can do As life slips down, down the drain Hold on, he's coming With the screen kissed spine of the past Hold on, he coming With the style of the wormwood star Sing an anthem for the world Sing a farewell for the river If you feel like boy or girl Sing a sci-fi lullaby Let the light of the bomb Shine from him tomorrow Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow So let's have one more for the sorrow And one more for the friends Yes drink to you is all I can do As life slips down, down the drain... --- This World Needs a Father - Suede and The London Suede
