Lyrics

My speech is round the houses
My body's round the Wrekin
The coloured light of windows
My conscience on the ceiling

The first one is twenty-five, the second she is twenty-three, my third daughter should be nineteen
My born daughter is now fifteen

A hook to pull the devils out
The medicine of Jesus
A jab to keep you older
Procedures stop the breathing

The first one is twenty-five, the second she is twenty-three, my third daughter should be nineteen
My born daughter is now fifteen

Keep the armour shining
Angels at the breach
Call me undecided
The houses they stole my speech

The first one is twenty-five, the second she is twenty-three, my third daughter should be nineteen
My born daughter is now fifteen

Appointed cold in winter
The nurses and the needles
My blood is all correct tonight
So why deny the feeling?

The first one is twenty-five, the second she is twenty-three, my third daughter should be nineteen
My born daughter is now fifteen
