Ugly Kid Joe - Cats In The Cradle(2010)

[00:12.55] My child arrived just the other day
[00:15.65] Came to the world in the usual way
[00:18.37] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
[00:22.23] He learned to walk while I was away
[00:24.91] He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
[00:26.72] And as he grew he said
[00:28.45] "I'm gonna be like you, dad"
[00:31.37] "You know I'm gonna be like you"
[00:35.82] And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
[00:39.33] Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[00:42.43] When you comin' home?
[00:43.62] Son, I don't know when
[00:45.47] We'll get together then
[00:48.12] You know we'll have a good time then
[00:53.90]
[00:58.23] Well, my son turned ten just the other day
[01:01.44] He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on, let's play"
[01:04.89] "Could you teach me to throw?"
[01:06.15] I said, "Not today, I got a lot to do"
[01:09.40] He said, "That's okay"
[01:11.04] And he walked away and he smiled and he said
[01:14.29] "You know, I'm gonna be like him," yeah
[01:17.68] You know I'm gonna be like him
[01:22.29] And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
[01:25.68] Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[01:28.81] When you comin' home?
[01:29.93] Son, I don't know when
[01:32.28] We'll get together then
[01:34.86] You know we'll have a good time then
[01:40.30]
[01:46.56] When he came from college just the other day
[01:49.71] So much like a man I just had to say
[01:53.25] "I'm proud of you"
[01:54.62] "Could you sit for a while?"
[01:56.48] He shook his head and he said with a smile
[01:59.41] "What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys"
[02:03.26] "See you later"
[02:04.38] "Can I have them, please?"
[02:07.33] And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
[02:10.79] Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[02:13.96] When you comin' home?
[02:15.07] Son, I don't know when
[02:17.31] We'll get together then
[02:20.19] You know we'll have a good time then
[02:24.83]
[02:38.67] I've long since retired, my son's moved away
[02:42.30] I called him up just the other day
[02:46.71] "I'd like to see you, if you don't mind"
[02:49.50] He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time"
[02:54.22] "You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu"
[02:57.69] "But it's sure nice talkin' to you, dad"
[03:00.76] "It's been sure nice talkin' to you"
[03:05.42] And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
[03:09.04] He'd grown up just like me
[03:12.36] My boy was just like me
[03:16.61] And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
[03:20.22] Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[03:23.15] When you comin' home?
[03:24.41] Son, I don't know when
[03:26.84] We'll get together then
[03:29.43] You know we'll have a good time then
[03:33.87] And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
[03:37.32] Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[03:40.64] When you comin' home?
[03:41.63] Son, I don't know when
[03:44.04] We'll get together then
[03:46.81] You know we'll have a good time then...
