Dad and Disorderly Lyrics by Adam Newling

Occupational Anxiety

2021

[Verse 1]
Whimpering kid in a family home
My daddy came in and he was stumbling drunk
He said he had to sell his father's guitar
And if his devils stayed drunk, he could keep the lights on

[Chorus]
Then came knocking in the wind
The beast he swallowed came to swallow him
The screaming of the teapot couldn't bury the sound
Of the booze hound howling at the end of the hall

[Post-Chorus]
The end of the hall where the uniform comes off
And you stand there like a ghost

[Verse 2]
It took all of my life just to figure it out
That you can't get the light out from a dark child
The neighbours came 'round to bury their heads
Oh, what kind of a man does that to a friend?

[Chorus]
Then came knocking in the wind
The piss he swallowed came to swallow him
The screaming of the teapot couldn't bury the sound
Of the booze hound howling at the end of the hall

[Post-Chorus]
The end of the hall where the uniform comes off
And you stand there like a ghost
The end of the hall where the uniform comes off
And you stand there like a ghost
