What Gives My Son? Lyrics

Far be it for me to say you're loose son
Far be it for me to say you're no one
I've heard your excuse, I've heard your excuses,
every one

You don't know what's going,
You don't know what's going on
My son

Far be it for me to say you're brain dead
It might help if you get your ass out of bed
It twists me inside to see your girlfriend's backside
She get tongue-tied and run

You don't know what's going,
You don't know what's going on
My son

You're my son, I'm older than you,
You can't be a man too
Your hair's too long
Get out of my home

Papa, growing old
You're growing cold

You went too far
You crashed my car
I'm in a rage
Get off of that stage
Okay

Cover art for What Gives My Son? lyrics by Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Isn't this song great? I love it. Now, I know I'm likely to be wrong here but I always wondered if the father was banging his girlfriend.

Just from the lines "you don't know whats going on my son"

And "you can't be a man too"

I admit, it's probably just my weird imagination but I wanted to add a comment other than "Yay.... I love this one"

Also there is a good acoustic version of this one YouTube. I would supply a link but I'm too bone idle.
