Joel Plaskett - The News of Your Son lyrics

I'm sorry father i didn't want to be the one
To tell you about the news of your son
He was a failure second to none
And that's not all and that's not all

It's true he never worked a day in his life
When he lifted a finger it was
To turn out the light
Don't rely on him to pass
On what's wrong and right when you're gone
When you're gone
He never had a head for figures and numbers
He never had a heart for love and for letters
He was never too swift with
His words or his hands
You know he never meant to
Place those kinds of demands on you
On you

When you broke your leg he took the crutch
But lately he don't remember it all that much
He just thinks about lying
In the frozen grass
His body cold and wet down by the overpass
You know he never meant to
Come across so fuckin' crass
But love is like that love's like that
Sure it is
