"Congratulations" lyrics

He's coming 'round tonight
Catching the train out
Started work today
It's no fun but it pays

One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down

S'posed to leave at eight
But the sitter's late
Now time's run out to go
To that even show

One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
He could never hurt you
But it's so much to get involved
Involved

I drowned in glory
To tell this story
Of self-denial
And choices final

He was there for you
When your ex shot through
But can you really count
On him sticking 'round?

One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
He could never hurt you
But it's so much to get involved
Involved

I drowned in glory
To tell this story
Of self-denial
And choices final
Can't change what happened
My youth's been shattered
Now can I really
Bring him down with me?

He can't play
Father to your son
When he's eighteen years young!

I drowned in glory
To tell this story
Of self-denial
And choices final
Can't change what happened
My youth's been shattered
Now can I really
Bring him down with me?
