Although she meant well She almost killed us on the drive home Typical English summer hailstone Typical of me when you're drunk and alone Meanwhile, I've took enough to think I'm no one's child I asked her if I've got my father's eyes She laughed and sent me out for cigarettes Yes, now you've scared me half to death To stop us drinking in the week, babe You know you're all that I got left? And I wasn't meant to lose ya Although I couldn't tell whether she's steaming or just dizzy Frost covered up our windscreen You should've left me where you found me But like a Rolling Stone She had her head out of the window I don't know how she stole her mother's car But I know exactly how she stole my heart Yes, now you've scared me half to death To stop us drinking in the week, babe You know you're all that I got left? And I wasn't meant to lose ya She said she hates being a mess It keeps me drinking in the week, babe Because she loves me when I'm wrecked And I wasn't meant to lose her And although she meant well She almost killed us on the drive home Typical English summer hailstone You only love me when you're drunk
