   I ought to leave            enough hot water
  for your morning bath        but I'd not thought, I

                    
    hate to hear you talk that way
                                              
but I can't bring   myself to say I'm sorry

      


                                                


   the past is always            knocking incessant
  trying to break through        into the present

                   
we have to work to keep it out          G     D   Em   D
and I won't be the first to shout it's over

                                                     
 I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms
                                        
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom
                                               


with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea

              


                                                 
 I steal a kiss from you         in the supermarket
  I walk you down the aisle,     you fill my basket

                        
and through it all the stick I take
                    
is worth it for the love we make


                                                     
 I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms
                                        
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom
                                               


with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea

               
the baby and me


                                           
  I stayed in bed         alone, uncertain
  then I met you,        you pulled the curtain

                     
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and
                                           
light shone in on everything, I love you

                     
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and
                                           
light shone in on everything, I love you
