lyrics

Has anyone had a voice quite like Nina Simone
That woman didn’t take no crap from anyone
I heard that she once waved a gun til she got paid
I feel unworthy just invoking her name

And you loved her music while you were growing up
She would sing for you while you did the washing up
Help those dishes fly straight into the rack
’Til they were ready to stack

Oh she was part of your home
Oh she was part of your home
Oh she was part of your home
Oh she was part of your home

When I was a boy it was probably Steely Dan
We’d fumble through covers in the Morley Family Band
I’d play piano though I’d always get it wrong
Just watch my father and my uncle sing along

When I learned guitar well I studied every note
Though solos were no-nos cos my fingers were too slow
Didn’t know they were named after a fictional adult toy
But then again I was only a boy

Oh they were part of my home
Oh they were part of my home
Oh they were part of my home
Oh they were part of my home

Now we’re older and this year we were wed
Still in the phase where we’d rather stay in bed
Can’t help wondering what the future holds
Between now and when we’re old

What will be part of our home
What will be part of our home
What will be part of our home
What will be part of our home
