For The Kids
Stay together for the kids
Tuesday night is bin night
You take the bins to the end of the drive
You look up at the stars and wonder
How you manage to survive
Just for a moment
You stop and reflect
You've just got time
To smoke a cigarette
You look back at the house and sigh
You know the kids are asleep
How did so much of your life go by
With all those secrets that you keep?
Stay together for the kids
The mantra that everybody uses
The truth challenges us to look it in the eyes
But everyone refuses
Stay together for the kids
But did you ever stop to ask them what they think
Instead, another precious year of your life
Washes down the kitchen sink
Regrets you've got so many
Far too many to discuss
You thought with time it would get easier
To proceed with the minimum of fuss
Just for a moment
You remember her face
She's the one that got away
Floating forever in time and space
You look up at the house and sigh
You can hear your wife on the phone
How did so much of your life go by
With so much left unknown?
Stay together for the kids
The mantra that everybody uses
The truth challenges us to look it in the eyes
But everyone refuses
Stay together for the kids
But did you ever stop to ask them what they think
Instead, another precious year of your life
Washes down the kitchen sink
Stay together for the kids (together for the kids)
The truth challenges us to look it in the eyes
(Together for the kids)
But everyone refuses
Stay together for the kids (together for the kids)
Tuesday night is bin night
You take the bins to the end of the drive
You look up at the stars and wonder
How you manage to survive
Just for a moment
You stop and reflect
You've just got time
To smoke a cigarette
You look back at the house and sigh
You know the kids are asleep
How did so much of your life go by
With all those secrets that you keep?
Stay together for the kids
The mantra that everybody uses
The truth challenges us to look it in the eyes
But everyone refuses
Stay together for the kids
But did you ever stop to ask them what they think
Instead, another precious year of your life
Washes down the kitchen sink
Regrets you've got so many
Far too many to discuss
You thought with time it would get easier
To proceed with the minimum of fuss
Just for a moment
You remember her face
She's the one that got away
Floating forever in time and space
You look up at the house and sigh
You can hear your wife on the phone
How did so much of your life go by
With so much left unknown?
Stay together for the kids
The mantra that everybody uses
The truth challenges us to look it in the eyes
But everyone refuses
Stay together for the kids
But did you ever stop to ask them what they think
Instead, another precious year of your life
Washes down the kitchen sink
Stay together for the kids (together for the kids)
The truth challenges us to look it in the eyes
(Together for the kids)
But everyone refuses
Stay together for the kids (together for the kids)
