I Knew Your Father
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
I'd like to think I got the measure of the man
His smell of wet leather and his bravado
His childlike conviction in the power of his right hand
But the man you spoke of on TV, I didn't recognise
Your laughing, loving family man, not dead behind the eyes
But in the thirteen seconds I knew your father
Precious moments I knew your father
I knew your father
I knew your father
In the thirteen seconds I knew your brother
I flatter myself I got to know him pretty well
For his seven seconds of casual violence
I'd like to think he's earned a special place in hell
But something in that moment held us intimately near
And I'd like to think I gained a lasting souvenir
From the thirteen seconds I knew your brother
Precious moments I knew your brother
I knew your brother
I knew your brother
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
In the thirteen seconds I knew your brother
In the thirteen seconds I knew your uncle
In the thirteen seconds I knew your cousin
In the thirteen seconds I knew your grandson
In the thirteen seconds I knew your boyfriend
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
I knew your father well
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
I'd like to think I got the measure of the man
His smell of wet leather and his bravado
His childlike conviction in the power of his right hand
But the man you spoke of on TV, I didn't recognise
Your laughing, loving family man, not dead behind the eyes
But in the thirteen seconds I knew your father
Precious moments I knew your father
I knew your father
I knew your father
In the thirteen seconds I knew your brother
I flatter myself I got to know him pretty well
For his seven seconds of casual violence
I'd like to think he's earned a special place in hell
But something in that moment held us intimately near
And I'd like to think I gained a lasting souvenir
From the thirteen seconds I knew your brother
Precious moments I knew your brother
I knew your brother
I knew your brother
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
In the thirteen seconds I knew your brother
In the thirteen seconds I knew your uncle
In the thirteen seconds I knew your cousin
In the thirteen seconds I knew your grandson
In the thirteen seconds I knew your boyfriend
In the thirteen seconds I knew your father
I knew your father well
