St. Johns Wood Affair by Nirvana (UK) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mother closed the bathroom door
You said you've seen it all before
When you were sweet sixteen
Daughter don't you get upset
You're not too old to learn yet
While you are in-between
[Verse 2]
People you don't seem to care
If what you breathe is tin canned air
You've got to compromise
Vicar, would you like some cake?
You're sure you're not too bad mistake
I think you're in disguise
[Pre Chorus 1]
As I grow older going too far down the road
Up St. John's Wood where I read on the notice board
That God is by my side all the time
[Chorus 1]
Hello God, would you like to take a walk?
Maybe we can have a talk, maybe I can fix you up?
Maybe you can send me down?
Come on God, let's go to town
Hello God, would you like to take the train?
Just relax and stop the rain, stop the rain from pouring down
Surely you won't see me wrong
Come on God, you must be strong
[Verse 3]
You refuse to stop the rain
And I refuse to catch the train
No need to get excited
Don't blame me for what I do
Cause baby I'm fed up with you
But somehow feel delighted
[Pre Chorus 2]
As I grow older going too far down the road
Up St. John's Wood where I read on the notice board
That God is by my side all the time
[Chorus 2]
Hello God, would you like to take a walk?
Maybe we can have a talk, maybe I can fix you up?
Maybe you can send me down?
Come on God, let's go to town
Hello God, would you like to take the train?
Just relax and stop the rain, stop the rain from pouring down
Surely you won't see me wrong
Come on God, you must be strong
Mother closed the bathroom door
You said you've seen it all before
When you were sweet sixteen
Daughter don't you get upset
You're not too old to learn yet
While you are in-between
[Verse 2]
People you don't seem to care
If what you breathe is tin canned air
You've got to compromise
Vicar, would you like some cake?
You're sure you're not too bad mistake
I think you're in disguise
[Pre Chorus 1]
As I grow older going too far down the road
Up St. John's Wood where I read on the notice board
That God is by my side all the time

Hello God, would you like to take a walk?

Maybe you can send me down?
Come on God, let's go to town
Hello God, would you like to take the train?

Surely you won't see me wrong
Come on God, you must be strong
