Warts And All letra

I never asked a body this, went for momentary bliss
Deflecting partners with a kiss whenever it was broached
All too soon i'd leave the bed turn my thoughts to food instead
Let's feed the naked and the dead, fried eggs beans and toast
But rosie says 'hang on a while now, baby'
And back into her loving arms i crawl
In her heat she makes me bask 'till i'm warm enough to ask
Love me, baby will you warts and all.

My dad was cross and i'm the same, but i wont hand him all the blame
I know from where his anger came and it all seems to fit
The patience that he never had used to make us all so mad
But here am i like jack-the-lad chomping at the bit
And rosie says 'hang on a while now, baby'
And back into her loving arms i crawl
She keeps handing me the flask 'till i'm warm enough to ask
Love me baby will you warts and all.

Now sometimes i can see myself screaming at some empty shelf
Where i left my keys the night before
Someone moved them overnight the children crawl away in fright
Me, i want a hand to bite and close the goddamn door.

But rosie she's not frightened by threats to kill or threats to fly
She can look me in the eye and say i must be mad
Tells me where to take my cloud down the pub for crying out loud
Lay it on that arty crowd 'cause they're all just as bad
I say 'well hang on a while now, baby
And back into her loving arms i crawl
She keeps kissing 'till my mask falls so far i have to ask
Love me baby will you warts and all.

I must dig into my reserves when rosie she gets on my nerves
Just by being happy all the time
I wish sometimes she'd lose the cool
Fling a tantrum throw a stool
Drown the youngest in the pool now that would be sublime

But rosie she's too cute for that to her i have to lift my hat
Not an eyelid does she bat though jericho might fall
Fills me up with baked alaska 'till i'm big enough to ask her
Love me baby will you, warts and all.
