Scott Helman - Papa (Lyrics)
⤿ All songs on Spotify: open.spotify.com/user/vertexrecords
⤿ Pre-save Scott's album 'Nonsuch Park SA': scotthelman.lnk.to/nonsuchparksaAY
'Papa' will be part of Scott's new album 'Nonsuch Park', out September 4th. The album capsulizes many of the tortuous roads in his life, how they’ve diverged and converged to create a tapestry, and it documents the lessons that tapestry has taught him. Many memories were made at the large park down the road from his Papa's house in Surrey UK – Nonsuch Park. This song is a tribute to his dad.

🎵 Scott Helman 'Papa' Lyrics
0:00 Intro
0:13 Verse one
You don't have much time left so
Let's use up what we got
Yeah, it's on days like this I
Wish we believed in God
0:24 Pre-chorus
You're looking back at your life
I'm looking forward at mine
It's true but it don't make sense
That we're both running out of time
0:36 Chorus
Remember Thomas The Tank Engine and the sips of gin on a jet-lagged winter night
Remember the way you drove those London roads, had to hold on for my life
You were like fee-fi-fo-fum coming up the stairs
We'd laugh, me and Jack, saying, “Papa, I'm scared”
Now I'm really scared
1:12 Verse two
You talk just like the old you
And then you start to cough
I'm tryin' to be strong but
It's obvious I'm not
1:23 Pre-chorus
You're looking back at your life
I'm looking forward at mine
It's true but it don't make sense
That we're both running out of time
1:34 Chorus
Remember Thomas The Tank Engine and the sips of gin on a jet-lagged winter night
Remember the way you drove those London roads, had to hold on for my life
You were like fee-fi-fo-fum coming up the stairs
We'd laugh, me and Jack, saying, “Papa, I'm scared”
But now I'm really scared
2:01 Interlude
2:20 Chorus
I'll always remember Thomas The Tank Engine and the sips of gin on a jet-lagged winter night
Remember the way you drove those London roads, had to hold on for my life
You were like fee-fi-fo-fum coming up the stairs
We'd laugh, me and Jack, saying, “Papa, I'm scared”
Now I'm really scared
2:47 Outro
