von Chris Difford

The boiler in the cupboard was making noises like it just might blow
Her bath was overflowing, she lay there with her toe over the hole
Drinking from a tall glass, she shrivelled in the heat
A candle slowly burnt down as she raised one of her feet
She stood up in a bathrobe, her head twisted up inside a towel
Her eyes looking droopy, sitting on a bathtub like an owl
We talked about a baby, the commitment that would be
I need a slight reversal to bring back a chance to see
I′m living in this moment and this moment lives with me


I went to see the doctor to find out how long it would take
Reversing all the good work I had taken care of by mistake
I should have been resistant, I'd not be knackered now
Sent out into the backfield, a horse without a plough
I′m living in this moment, I was milked just like a cow
I turned up at the clinic, talking to the nurses with my charm
I laid upon a big bed, the doctor disappeared with both his arms
I fell asleep then woke up, my tubes had been repaired
I crawled back to the sofa to my angel waiting there

She went to make some breakfast, I read the papers sitting on the bed
The smell of cooking bacon was filling up the senses in my head
The test tubes were returning with all the right results
The pain slowly subsided with tiny little strokes
I'm living in this moment, now my laugh is full of hope

The baby born this morning is certainly a miracle to me
The face has left me speechless, another twig upon the family tree
I never thought the salmon would swim back up the stream
The house is full of nappies and little baby screams
I'm living in this moment, everything is as it seems

A man outside the window was laughing at a drunk out on the street
His bag of chips fell open, piled up all around him by his feet
I tried to light a fire, a paintbrush in my hand
The room was decorated like some great wonderland

I′m living in this moment, it′s the one I understand
I'm living in this moment
I′m living in this moment
