The Best of The Pogues

Sally MacLennane

[VERSE 1]
At Grandma One's house, we run and play
Under apple trees all day
Sunshine dancing on the lawn
Laughter echoes until dawn
Skip and jump and climb so high
Picking apples from July

[VERSE 2]
At Grandma Two's house, we sit up straight
Dark wood furniture we hate
Sacred Heart with eyes that follow
Holy water, hard to swallow
Tick-tock-tick the mantle clock
Rosary beads, we dare not mock

[VERSE 3]
At Grandma One's house, cookies bake
Sticky fingers, chocolate cake
Rolling in the grass so green
Happiest place we've ever seen
Butterflies and buzzing bees
Summer lasts eternally

[VERSE 4]
At Grandma Two's house, curtains drawn
Candles flicker, light withdrawn
Crucifixes on the wall
Statues standing in the hall
Whispered prayers on wooden beads
"Sit still, child, and hush your needs"

[BRIDGE]
But wait, now that I think it through
Something strange but somehow true
Same address on both the doors
Same old creaky wooden floors

[VERSE 5 - REVELATION]
It's just one house, don't you see?
Summer sun or rosary
Same old grandma, same four walls
Garden bright or shadowed halls
Sunday mass or Saturday play
Just depends upon the day
One grandmother, one small house
Seen through sun or holy vows
