the kinks
nothing to say
Remember walking with you by my side You were my papa and I was your pride Now I've got children and I'm going grey No time for talking I got nothin' to say Those Sunday dinners that we had at home Now I've got a house and I've got friends of my own We can't do tomorrow what we did yesterday It's best that we're going our separate ways, ok How is your rheumatism (nothing to say) How are your chillblains (nothing to say) How's Aunty Mabel (nothing to say) So far papa, I got nothin' to say, ok Those happy days we spent together We thought our world would never change How the days go by And things will never be the same You keep pretending that everything's fine So you make small talk to help pass the time But all the words that you spit from your face Add up to nothin' you got nothin' to say How are those noisy neighbors next door I'll have to go soon ''cause I'm getting bored I gotta be home early to see a good play So far papa, I got nothin' to say How is your life insurance (nothing to say) How is your trade union (nothing to say) How is your independence (nothing to say) So for papa, I got nothin' to say
