Lyrics
Unfinished Business
(c) Matthews/Naismith 2007
V1
Kicking empty cans along a damp and dirty kerb
Should have worn a coat but a little rain won't hurt
Fell a little cold - it's not the weather doing that
I wish we'd seen the end amongst the passion of the start
No matter what I say the joke don't seem to end
Never gone away despite the energy I spent
Ch
Unfinished business to do, unfinished business with you
Until you see how much you hurt, how much I thought you were worth
I've unfinished business
V2
Standing at the school gates and the kids are coming out
I recognise a voice between the screaming and the shouts
Straight away the memory's back and 10 years don't seem long
Can't bring myself to face you so hide until you're gone
No matter what I say the joke don't seem to end
Never gone away despite the energy I spent
Ch
Unfinished business to do, unfinished business with you
Until you see how much you hurt, how much I thought you were worth
I've unfinished business
V3
Driving home from work one night I find myself in tears
seven years I've felt the pain my Dad ain't here
I never really knew his thoughts and praise was not his thing
I never got the chance to say how proud I was of him
No matter what I say the joke don't seem to end
Never gone away despite the energy I spent
Ch
Unfinished business to do, unfinished business with you
Until you see how much you hurt, how much I thought you were worth
I've unfinished business
