How to Pack Your Bags and Leave lyrics

I came downstairs one new years day
As scatty as a westcoast mainline train
And you said something that I can still remember


Your specs come off and the lights dim down
The floral wallpaper turns a vomit brown
And you look at me with distain beyond my comprehension
You said you were ashamed

Its not paranoia when they're after you
Its a ball and chain that should not be attached to me
Why do we fight like kids in a school lunch queue
When you're my Dad and i am 23. I am 23

This is how to pack your bags and leave

Sticks and stones wreck, but its the names that keep on breaking me

I can't believe my luck
There's an 8.15 to Euston, i hope the london fog swallows me up
You could be right and it could be me to blame
But how come you sat me down, dressed me like a clown
You said you were ashamed

This is how to pack your bags and leave
