"Kentish Town Waltz" lyrics

"Kentish Town Waltz"

Do you remember we traipsed around
From pub to pound shop through Kentish Town
Only a fiver to our name,
The drunk on the doorstep had more to our shame
Living over the offy had its trials
The fights all night out there and inside
And those stews that lasted three days into four
And the dreaded bailiffs' return to our door

But we stuck with each other with all our might
We pulled it together and held on tight
And I'm glad for us, yeah I'm glad mo chroi
But it's nothing to anyone 'cept you and me
There are wrongs for every right, there's ups and there's downs
But you're the one for all my life
My true love I have found, yeah you my love I found

I watched the moon cover the might of the sun
That weird evening light at a quarter past one
And I knew in my head as you lay in our bed
That you'd stay in my heart till the day I was dead
We killed each other then loved in time
And laughed till we almost cried
Yeah we cried as well when it all went to hell
And my heart it broke till I swear it died

Oh you're good at the things that I'm hopeless at
And I notice what you ignore
But it's when I see you're not perfect for me
It's then I love you more and more
