I wish I'd ... my life skills
Then I could leave my possessions in my folk's house or even next door
Have to rush off all my mothers ...
I will not get through this week
Without ... of a mental crutch

But now, now is the time, time to fly the nest
Get off and do my best
But how, how will I survive
Without my father's fare
To keep my tyre spare

...

But now, now is the time to stand up on my own
Get my wild seeds sown
But how, how will I survive
Without my mother's fare
To keep my tyre spare

But life on the town
I try to find the best
To get on like the rest
But it, it's tougher than I thought
Once you've built your pad
And all the fuel we've bought

So I, I did a u-turn
Back to square meals
Where the home fires burn
But now, don't get me wrong
I'm sure I'll find my nest
Before very long
