"Song For Aubrey" lyrics

You had your eyes on the prize when you decided to arrive
Slap bang in the middle of a hurricane
Came a kicking like a unicorn
While the world and his wife tried to hide away

Down came the rain, Daddy explained
Well it ain't going to rain forever
Your mother she laughed and we all raised a glass
The immaculate deception

You can keep a moonbeam of many colours
With a twinkle in your eye like a star shining bright called tomorrow
Come the day you found, there's a rocking chair in the lounge
The raspberry cheesecake recipe from your grandmother

Tried to wet your head but the government said
Ain't no wetting baby's head in lumptown
So we all kept our distance and promised we'd meet up
When the world was ready to come around

And in came the stone, the minister he warned
Mother Nature just might need an umbrella
Sun came out all we could talk about
Was the immaculate deception

You can keep a moonbeam of many colours
With a twinkle in your eye like a star shining bright called tomorrow
Come the day you found, there's a rocking chair in the lounge
The raspberry cheesecake recipe from your grandmother

Sweet, sweet Aubrey from Tipperary to Tennessee
They sing about your recipe the world over
Sweet, sweet Aubrey, has your mama set the table for tea
Me and your Uncle Raymond are coming over

Down came the rain, Daddy explained
Well it ain't going to rain forever
Your mother she laughed and we all raised a glass
The immaculate deception

You can keep a moonbeam of many colours
With a twinkle in your eye like a star shining bright called tomorrow
Come the day you found, there's a rocking chair in the lounge
The raspberry cheesecake recipe from your grandmother
