in another lifetime - gavin osborn lyrics

before you were born i played accordion on a roundabout in east dulwich and made 47 pence
your mum fell asleep on i the 176 night bus and and ended up in a depot in penche

i pretended to be a fireman come to fix a fridge in malta
your mum had a birthday party that was so much hotter than the sun, and everyone began to boil, because she covered the house in kitchen foil
for my birthday she made me a treasure hunt starting and bed and spreading all over london
then one night i got drunk and threw prawns behind my dad’s fridge then forgot and went to poland for a month

in another lifetime, in another lifetime,in another lifetime,in another life
in another lifetime, in another lifetime,in another lifetime,in another life

your mum was in eastenders as a doctor and when i dressed as mr wobbly man from noddy people watched as i rolled down the stage onto a drum kit crashing all the way into an orchestra pit
your mum drove all the way to walsall in a van i broke the little finger on my right hand
i bought a hamster trying to impress a girl in canterbury and it worked

your mum fell off a bike trying to impress a boy she liked he bought her the body guard on vhs
he wasn’t impress and she wouldn’t recommend “the bodyguard”

i had a hernia operation on my n-ts-ck

your mum made costumes for people in western shows and cycled there and back
she made animal doorstops and sausage dogs for stranger’s
i had a byline once in the hitchen gazette pages

i did magic mushrooms but it was accidental
yeah i thought it was soup and it made me go mental
your mum pierced her belly b-tton and changed her surname she even piloted a biplane

in another lifetime, in another lifetime,in another lifetime,in another life
in another lifetime, in another lifetime,in another lifetime,in another life

now we’re running round picking up toys and bits of train track
and you slip and trip and we run for plasters and pack your school bag
you sing songs from frozen in the car as our friends climb kilimanjaro as they samba dance on brazilian beaches we check sell by dates on your tin of peaches

and it’s exhausting and it’s joyful and it’s brilliant like it should be and we wouldn’t change it for a single second but i once mooned my friend underwater in sydney and your mum almost played pro netball (so she says)

in another lifetime, in another lifetime,in another lifetime,in another life
in another lifetime, in another lifetime,in another lifetime,in another life

yeah before you were born we danced to jazz in paris nightclubs and your mum wrote a song about a dinosaur,which frustratingly was really very good indeed and i’ve been living in its shadow ever since

i broke my collarbone playing football that’s why i don’t play professionally yeah that’s literally the only reason
i was a visionary like a young yan molby i went wild swimming in my pants and your mum was a great irish dancer but before your kids are born you’ll do far more than this and create your own stories to tell just don’t feel like you have to tell me all about it after all it’s a long way away
such a terribly long way away it’s in another lifetime, in another lifetime,in another lifetime,in another life
in another lifetime, in another lifetime,in another lifetime,in another life
