Paul Heaton - The Rocking Chair lyrics

[Verse 1] Here I walk, here I walk Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk Here I am, here I am With a choice between an also ran and a sun bed tan [Pre-Chorus 1] And you thought, you'd found your own little look How I misjudged, how I mistook And you thought, you'd found the style of your hair I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take all these troubles to the rocking chair [Chorus 1] So I'll take these high-heeled shoes And yes, I'll take these traditional views I'll take this deep despair Of a thirty year old square to the rocking chair [Verse 2] Here I sit, here I sit Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit Here I stand, here I stand Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land [Pre-Chorus 2] And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak Where the wolf-whistle rung, there's a deafening shriek Blowing kisses into thin air I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take these troubles to the rocking chair [Chorus 2] So I'll take this awkward stance And I'll take this s**less dance I'll take this deep despair Of a thirty year old square to the rocking chair [Outro] Am I skinny? A shade too fat? My friend the cat knows all about that Am I happy? Just a little sad (Here I sit, here I sit) (Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit) My friend the cat knows all about that Am I skinny? A shade too fat? (Here I walk, here I walk) (Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk) My friend the cat knows all about that Are you happy? Are you happy? Just a little sad Are you happy? Are you happy? Just a little sad
