Unaccustomed as I am Lyrics

Way Back then in '83 I sat up there upon your knee and hung on every single word you said

It was a loving mix of common sense and poison and I took all inside, back then I hadn't really read anything

But take a look at you now

Take a look at me now

Take a look at us now

Son it's such a different time

That's what I say to hide the shame

You know that even now I just can't bring myself to give you all the blame

We were just like all the rest

We feared the worst and tried our best

It really isn't my place to complain

But even so, here I go

Take a look at you now

Take a look at me now

Take a look at us now

So let me try and shape this message

let's try and tell it straight and pay my tribute to the man

But it's so hard to shape this

impossible to fake this

Unaccustomed as I am

Take a look at you now

Take a look at me now

Take a look at us now

Take a look at us now
