lyrics

When you came to me I was in bed
I said bring me some pills for my head
You said I will but I've something to say
I'm six weeks pregnant

I screamed on the outside and in
And my hangover focussed a bit
When I held you I whispered that's great
I knew things were going to change

So I made us a big shopping list
And I bought us some tins of blue paint
We slathered a few walls with it
We were ready for anything

The contractions were coming in waves
So we drove to the maternity
They smiled and sent us home again
But the fourth time they let us come in

And the second that we got in there
We started on the gas and air
We laughed at each other and said
A few things are going to change

The labour came on pretty thick
And thirty six hours later he came
You'd given everything
I was so proud of you then

I heard a great line once on the TV
Yeah it was in Frasier I think
It said you don't just love your children
You fall in love with them

Well I could not put it better myself
It's like being a teenager again
The whole thing is pretty intense
Four stars would try again
