Song Lyrics
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today, something crawls from the slime
Daddy only stares into the distance, of a dark scottish lake
He knows that something somewhere has to break, many miles away, many miles away
Of a cottage on the shore, at the bottom of a dark scottish lake, many miles away
Of a dark scottish lake, another industrial ugly morning
he doesn t think to wonder why
daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
Something crawls from the slime, the secretaries pout and preen like
but all he ever thinks to do is watch
of a cottage on the shore
Many miles away, many miles away, cheap tarts in a red light street
Many miles away, many miles away
Of a cottage on the shore, another suburban family morning Police, the factory belches filth into the sky
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance, contestants in a suicidal race
He doesn t think to wonder why, of a dark scottish lake
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch, many miles away
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today, many miles away, grandmother screaming at the wall
many miles away
contestants in a suicidal race
