Babies - Pulp

Well it happened years ago when you lived on Stanhope Road.

We listened to your sister when she came home from school 'cos she was

two years older and she had boys in her room.

We listened outside and

heard her.

Alright.

Well that was alright for a while but soon I wanted

more.

I want to see as well as hear and so I hid inside her wardrobe.

And she came round four and she was with some kid called David from

the garage up the road I listened outside I heard her.

Alright.

Oh I want

to take you home.

I want to give you children.

You might be my girlfriend, yeah.

When I saw you next day I really couldn’t tell 'cos you

might go and tell your mother.

And so you went with Neve and Neve

was coming on and I thought I heard you laughing when his Mum and

Dad were gone.

I listened outside, I heard you.

Alright.

Oh I want to take you home… etc. Well I guess it couldn’t last too long.

I came home

one day and all her things were gone, I fell asleep inside.

I never heard

her come.

And then she opened up her wardrobe and I had to get it on.

Oh, listen we were on the bed when you came home, I heard you stop

outside the door.

I know you won’t believe it’s true, I only went with

her 'cos she looks like you.

Oh I want to take you home… etc.
