and my old man plays the piano for Christmas.
 He plays the piano for Christmas.

 And we're all there  all the aunties and uncles
 and the angle's on the top of the tree.
 Up there o the top of the tree.

 And I never  no I never ever realised.
 And I never  no I never ever realised.

 Have I enough time  have I just some time
 to revisit  to go back  to return, to open my mouth again
 and say something different this time.

 And I see bags of newspaper and a car in the carport,
 and you're a grown up and still unsure,
 and I'm thirty and I don't know nothing no more.

 And I never, no I never ever realised.
 And I never, no I never ever realised.

 And I'm sitting, sitting on the top of the stairs,
 and you're crying out on the towpath by the river
 with all the swans and all the people walking by.

 And all of a sudden I'm stuck with an urge to unlock a door
 with a key that's too big for my hands
 and I drop it, and it falls at your feet.

 Come on, come on, it's there at your feet.
 And I never, no I never ever realised.
 And I never, no I never ever realised
