Songtext von Letter To My Son

I found myself at the point where we kissed first On a rooftop overlooking the East London mosque They say, they say, they say, they say "You can't go around breaking young girls' hearts" I say, I say, I say, I say Keep it casual, easy thing And you looked so right in that red dress Oh how I'd love to be a rock for you To be anything you could rely on So I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try But I'll get caught out So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try But we forget the lines, forget the lines And you looked so wanton in the back of the car Like you could start a hundred wars See what trouble we could both cause By the bedroom door, the kitchen floor I tried, I tried, I tried Oh Marlena, I'm too young To be the father to our son I tried, I tried, I tried Forgive me Oscar
