BULLETPROOF

We met at school, it was unforeseen
Up the duff at seventeen
Your mum and dad, they hit the roof
And we said goodbye to our youth

A shotgun wedding, a teenage bride
You couldn’t hide what kicked inside
When you find out you’re three months gone
You have no choice but to carry on

Chorus:
Sometimes you can’t hide away the truth
When destiny comes crashing through the roof
The storm came down like acid rain
We couldn’t stop that hurricane
Cos we thought that we both were bulletproof
Yeh we thought that we both were bulletproof

We got a church commission one-bed flat
In a dead end street and that was that
I sold the car to pay the rent
And that’s where all my money went

Then one cold dark September night
I saw you in the bathroom light
On hands and knees upon the floor
Our precious baby was no more

Middle 8:
We planted pips in plastic pots
Beside the dead forget-me-nots
We cared for them, we watched them grow
From stalk to stem, we didn’t know
The storms were coming in the fall
To steal our seeds, they took them all

At times I’d work a double shift
In my attempt to heal the rift
But absence makes the heart grow cold
When there is no one there to hold

You don’t have to be Aristotle
And I found comfort in a bottle
And me and you we grew apart
A broken marriage, a shattered heart

Years go by you set me free
Floating in the deep blue sea
But still at times you come crashing into me 
Sometimes you come crashing into me
Sometimes you come crashing into me

Bulletproof

PERSON UNKNOWN

She turned to me and said,
‘This time you’ve gone too far,
You’ve crossed the line again’
As I walked her to the car
I put her case inside the boot and let her go
And that was seven years ago

If you ever come around again
You better get out while you can
I never meant to cause you pain
But that’s just the way I am
I put you second when I should have put you first
I couldn’t treat you any worse

Your sister called to tell me
Not to contact you no more
A restraining order placed on me
I can’t ignore
My friends deserted me and now I’m all alone
No fixed abode, person unknown

Gonna Get It

Coming back I always feel you’re leaving
You park your car and then you pack your bags
The world’s a lie there’s nothing left to believe in
The clothes I wear are nothing more than rags

Funny but it doesn’t matter now you’re here 
Funny but it doesn’t matter now you’re here

The miles between the two of us are slowing
But gravity keeps pulling us apart
The sun will set and all the tides are turning
So never stop following your heart

Pete Rigby

Funny But It Doesn't Matter Now You're Here

Funny but it doesn't matter now you're here

Sometimes – I can see straight through you
Sometimes – Feels like I always knew you
That’s why I – Fell for you

Sometimes – I couldn’t live without you
Sometimes – I don’t know why I doubt you
That’s why I – Fell for you

If you ever get inside this tired mind of mine
You will see a mystery that you cannot define
The wheels in motion never stop, they turn until we die
No one ever knows the reason why

Sometimes

No one in a million years would put me next to you
World’s apart and full of fear I guess we always knew
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as she turns
The rain will fall tomorrow and the sun it always burns
I was taught to never run but always stand and fight
That is why I’m loving you tonight

You know I tried to make it work but that just wouldn’t do
You cut me down with vicious words and you beat me black and blue
Maybe I’m too weak to ever walk away from here
I’ve nowhere else to run to and my body’s full of fear 
Maybe time will help me out and shed a little light
That is why I’m loving you tonight

I know you take for granted all the things I say to you
The hours spent just writing songs to stop me feeling blue
The sanctuary that I wished for has become a living hell
Your promises are whims god only knows the tales you tell
I’m stronger than you think, you’re out of mind, you’re out of sight
And that is why I’m leaving you tonight
