| | Never Went To Church Lyrics Artist(Band):The Streets
Alcohol and Christianity, I know which one I prefer We never went to church, Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt, But it's hit me since you left us, And it's so hard not to search. If you were still about, I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now, I just get a bit scared, Every now, Hope I made you proud. On your birthday when mum passed the forks and spoons, I put my head on the table I was so distraught with you, You tidied your things into the bin, The more poorly you grew, So there's nothing of yours to hold or to talk to. You put your hand up and interrupt the conversation with a, but... People say I interrupt people with the same look. Sometimes I think so hard I can't remember how your face looked, Started reading about dreams in your favourite book. I panic and pace when I can't see the right thing to do. You'd be scratching your head through the best advice you knew. And I feel sad I can't hear you reciting it through, I miss you dad, but I've got nothing to remind me of you Chorus I needed a break when your book about dreams was taken, I needed to pray or see a priest that day, I needed to leave this trade and just heave it away, But I cleaned up my place like you so I could see things straight. I never cared about God when life was sailin' in the calm, So I said I'd get my head down and I'd deal with the ache in my heart, And for that if God exists I'd reckon he'd pay me regard, Mum says me and you are the same from the start. I guess then you did leave me something to remind me of you, Everytime I interrupt someone like you used to, When I do something like you you'll be on my mind or through, 'Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you. Chorus x 2 But you used to tell me how you didn't know what to do even now, And then I'm not so scared somehow, 'Cause I know that you'd be proud. I got a good one for you dad, I'm gonna see a priest, a Rabbi and a Protestant clergyman, You always said I should hedge my bets.

Review about Never Went To Church ... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/13/09 My dad killed himself this monday, this song will play on his funeral tomorrow. All I really want to say is , if u havent spoken to ur dad in a really long time ,get back in touch before its to late. U only have 1 dad. MY DAD WANTED ME TO BE A LAWYER OR A DOCTOR | Reviewer: LEONTY SOROKA | 10/23/09 I love him very much, as much as he loves me, i'm 25 male, and divorced, have i hurt him, absoluetly, has he hurt me most defiently. Lung cancer changes nothing, this song definetly caught me of guard today, 40000 songs and this is what itunes decided to play tonight. I will always remember my father as a strong ukrianian immigrant, he took a family of 8 across the ocean 21 years ago, and lost family memebers, my eldest brother is serving life in a us prison. No surprise, dont bring feisty russians to the us, or else. Staying positive is only possible by not involving myself with family. Only grama gets to see the good i do. alcohol and christianity | Reviewer: peter | 6/2/09 i lost my father, a few months ago and organised the funeral, i felt fine through it all. As we didnt have a close relationship, cos he pushed me away which i believe was cos i could never take the place of a brother i had before i existed and just wasnt a suitable replacement no matter what i did for him to be proud of. He was an alcoholic in the end and was hurting the people around him and went into a coma more than once forcing myself and my sister to make the choice of turning off the life support machine once which i agreed to as my sister wasnt capable. with 6 hours left to go before they did it he made a recovery. i never forgave him for the way he put us through that and still havent really although i have accepted it. He went back on the drink after coming out of hospital, the words of this song meant a lot to me before he died giving me an insight into how i would probably feel after he died and it was right, I just hope that the funeral and send off i gave him, is enough to have made him proud of me if there is a place after death, not religious people but only he knows now. Its all i ever wanted from him and about the only thing i never had him say. anon | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/13/09 i havent seen my dad in 8 years and he is now out of my life the funny thing is i wasnt upset at the time and even now i am not however i listen to this song and it makes me feel bad that i dont care but then i think there must be a reason y i feel like this mike skinner is not the sort of guy u wud think cud write this stuff but he is amazing beyond fantastic | Reviewer: cBeyond | 2/5/09 I lost my Mom when I was 9. This song hits home. You do forget how their face looks and the sound of their voice and you feel so bad because you're forgetting them. This song makes me cry but in a good way. I too forgot she left me to remind me of her. It's just something you never get over the saying time heals all wounds is not true. I still cry and miss her I am instantaneously warped back in to that 9 year old little girl who knows she is gone forever. incredible | Reviewer: graydoh | 10/2/08 I haven't had the unfortunate experience of losing my father, but this song still makes me shiver. Mike Skinner, despite being not the sort of guy I would expect to write music like this, has done an amazing job on this song. The line "Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you." gives me shivers every time i hear it, and its by far my favorite 'streets' line of all time. What a song. Class | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/29/08 I first heard this song a long time after my dad died when I hadn't thought about it for a long time. But the "left me behind to remind me of you" line gets me every time I hear it. For someone who has gone through this is best song ever! Such stong feelings | Reviewer: Santiago | 7/6/08 This song can make certain people feel something so strong that can easily make someone weep as well as it can make others reflect, remember and accept the hardest thing life can bring to us. The lyrics and tunes/music of this song work in a such harmony that whoever listens to it will instantly relate to it like no other song ever heard before. What this song say's can only be understood by the people that have lived, experienced and suffered the death of their father. What i find most ironic and illogic yet unquestionable is that whoever listens to this song and relates to it keeps listening to it frequently despite the fact that every time its heard feelings such as sadness, nostalgy, impotence and sometimes even anger will be felt weather you want to or not. To finish i just want to say to whoever reads what i have written the following; We only have one father in this life, one mother and sometimes a brother or a sister and unfortunately we have lost our father for reasons we will never understand, accept or understand for death is a subject we as humans will never really understand untill we ourselves live through. Whenever we remember our dad sadness will be felt no matter what but remember to also cherish the good times, the good memories and the lessons learned from him. And keep in mind that although he is longer in the body you remember he is not compleately dead for you are a part of him. All fathers deceased rest in peace... Dad, i miss you, i wish i had known you better, i regret nothing and i cherish all, someday if we actually go somewhere after death we will meet once again and this time hopefully we wont have to be taken apart. (': | Reviewer: Kate (: | 6/23/08 Everytime i listen to this song it also makes me shiver i saw them The streets live and you should have seen the response when they sang this song, i think apart from the singing there was not another word being spoken, amazing. xx ]: | Reviewer: chloE | 1/26/08 every time i listen to this song, it makes me shiver. i never knew my dad cos he died of cancer before i was born-but i can still totally relate to these lyrics. I guess then you did leave me something to remind me of you, Everytime I interrupt someone like you used to, When I do something like you you'll be on my mind or through, 'Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you. :( xx Review By Pages: 1 2 Review the song Never Went To Church The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
