Shane MacGowan and the Popes - Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway

By Gerry Rafferty

The coat she wore still lies upon the bed
The book I gave her that she never read
She left without a single word to say
Her father didn't like me anyway

She always wanted more than I could give
Cause she wasn't happy with the way we lived
I suppose I should have begged with her to stay
Her father didn't like me anyway

And Oh! Daddy didn't like the clothes I wear
And Oh! Daddy didn't like my hair
I suppose that if we tried to we could have found something to say
But daddy didn't even care

To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve
And I'm only getting just what I deserve
She left without a single word today
Her father was a right cunt anyway
