Number One Son - Camera Obscura

Took a walk in the park for a laugh we drank sparkling wine

Oh yeah it was dark trees could not be identified

The girl you were with did she have you on your knees?

I shut my mouth my ears I don’t want to hear you please

Now you’re skipping school going to listen to records

Wrapped up in mohair dissing your elders

Dip a chocolate finger take a sip from my cup

Remember what you’re dad said «button your lip»

You’ve got to toughen up for him

He’s the kind who will do you in

I should know that it’s no fun

You will never be No. 1

No. 1 son

God I’ve tried to help but I think I just hinder

Ask a better girl could she ever be kinder

Love unlike lightning can strike you twice

I don’t know much, but here’s my advice

You’ve got to toughen up for him

He’s the kind who will do you in

I should know that it’s no fun

You will never be No. 1

No. 1 son
