Cut Loose

My little one
My little one

Although I never met you
I know I'll never forget you
Because you changed our lives in a matter of seconds
Before we decided to send you to heaven

I thought I was strong
But I'm as weak as they come
In this plastic world
Made of material goals
I felt I had to get on
I felt I had to get on

Is a mortgage so essential
That it justifies removing that potential
Enslaved by society
With lists and priority
Scared of my limit so I ran to the clinic

I thought I was strong
But I'm as weak as they come
In this plastic world
Made of material goals
I felt I had to get on
I felt I had to get on

I thought I wasn't in the gang
With the fast machines and the touch screens
But I made that choice to never hear your voice
I made the decision to have the incision

You were cut loose from me
To make it easy for me
To make my money grow and my ambitions flow
I faced the persecution for your execution

You were cut loose from me
And it was agony for me
I try to stop my sadness turning into madness
By getting on, I have got to get on

You were cut loose from me
But I will never quite be free
Oh, how I wish I was strong and didn't want to get on
I wish we were happy with just you
