Too Slow Lyrics by Tom Williams & The Boat

Too Slow

2011

You wouldn't leave the baby in the snow, so why leave me?
It feels like only last week that I was down on one knee
And now I work in the post office, and I can’t get up
Stocking Lucozade and cashing giros, I've had no luck

But I'm coming back, man, and I’ve got a loan
I think the hardest thing's actually just been getting used to being on my own
And I got 600 for the car from the woman that runs the Shell
She said she'd bring me cash three weeks ago, but she hasn't been well

And once that comes through and the job picks up
Well, I'm well on my way
I met a nice girl that runs the checkout, too
And she started chatting to me yesterday

Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they’re well on their way

“I think saving is your best bet,” said the man in the bank
He thinks if I put a bit aside each month, then I can get a nicer flat
And until I have a place that I can show my parents round
I can’t start picking up the phone again and stop hiding from you in town

Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they’re well on their way
Slowly things are picking up, woah
Slowly things are picking up, woah

Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
Slowly things are picking up, woah
Slowly things are picking up, woah

Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they’re well on their way
Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
Slowly things are picking up
Yeah, they're well on their way
