Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees 
My hands are black the sun is going down
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam 
She's listening to the dream I weaved today
Cross-words through the bathroom door 
While someone sings the theme tune to the news
And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air 
And that's what triggered this
I come back here from time to time 
I shelter here some days

A high-back chair he sits and stares 
A thousand yards and whistles marching band (boom-ching) 
Kneeling by and speaking up 
He reaches out and I take a massive hand
Disjointed tales that flit between short trousers and a full dress uniform 
And he talks of people ten years gone 
Like I've known them all my life 
Like scattered black 'n' whites
