lyrics
You stood by the sink at six With a blue biro, two old bricks You drew the line on the back of my hand Then I wiped it off on my jeans by chance You said “slow down,” I said “I know” But I turned the screw the wrong way, though Tin mug shaking on the Formica top And every time I rushed, you told me “stop” You kept calm in the draughty room Rain on the glass, that Monday gloom One more go and I’d catch the shape You made me wait, you made me take Paper at six Paper at six Paper at six Paper at six You drew it straight, I missed the trick Paper at six Paper at six Then at the bench with the kettle on You showed me twice till the doubt was gone Two red screws and a split cheap tape Your patient hands kept me from the scrape I cracked the edge, you let me learn Burnt my thumb on the hot glue turn You didn’t laugh when I got it wrong You just said “again” and kept me strong You kept calm in the draughty room Rain on the glass, that Monday gloom One more go and I’d catch the shape You made me wait, you made me take Paper at six Paper at six Paper at six Paper at six You drew it straight, I missed the trick Paper at six Paper at six Now I hear your voice in my head On the tram home, on the patched-up bed Not fast, not loud, just plain and clear “One more time, lad, stay right here” Paper at six Paper at six Paper at six Paper at six You drew it straight, I missed the trick Paper at six Paper at six
