about

A song about the first question couples are asked when they get married. 'When are you going to have a baby

lyrics

A family of two
It's only me and you
and that could be all it'll ever be and that would be enough for me
because me and you
We drive each other crazy
But everyone around us keeps giving birth to babies

These things are not for everyone
They eat and shit and cry
I do enough of that myself so why the fuck should I procreate
Oh but it would be so great
A tiny happy family you would be

I am bad at maths
but even I can see
You plus me just equals us, it doesn't have to equal three
I don't see why anyone should count higher than two
If I need another person here I just need another you

Just to reiterate
Life isn't long
There's no need to apologise when you've done nothing wrong
Oh but wait
One day it could be too late
A lonely married couple you would be

I go to a restaurant and I can find a seat
I don't need some sticky fingered creature at my feet
Oh but but wait
Oh but it could be so great
A tiny happy family you would be
One day it could be too late
A lonely married couple you would be
