[Verse 1]
Meet me on the edges of the city
Meet me where the underground runs out
Bring a picnic blanket and your pity
A pen and paper, so I can write things down
[Chorus 1]
Mother, oh dear mother, I wasn't joking when I said
I plan to keep doing this until the day I'm dead
And I'm not a mirror for you when you were young
But I still remain your faithful only son
[Verse 2]
Lately, I've been feeling kind of fragile
Lately, I've been feeling all worn out
What would any of us do if all the dreams that we had came true?
What would there be left to dream about?
[Chorus 2]
Father, oh dear father, I'm not trying to reject
The values that you held like winning cards up to your chest
But I can't just do the things that you wished you'd done
Though I still remain your faithful only son
[Bridge]
The city seems so still
When you're looking down from Highgate Hill
Meet me on the edges of the city
Meet me where the underground runs out
Bring a picnic blanket and your pity
A pen and paper, so I can write things down
[Chorus 1]
Mother, oh dear mother, I wasn't joking when I said
I plan to keep doing this until the day I'm dead
And I'm not a mirror for you when you were young
But I still remain your faithful only son
[Verse 2]
Lately, I've been feeling kind of fragile
Lately, I've been feeling all worn out
What would any of us do if all the dreams that we had came true?
What would there be left to dream about?
[Chorus 2]
Father, oh dear father, I'm not trying to reject
The values that you held like winning cards up to your chest
But I can't just do the things that you wished you'd done
Though I still remain your faithful only son
[Bridge]
The city seems so still
When you're looking down from Highgate Hill
