Billy Bragg — You Pulled the Carpet Out

I know sometimes I'm not the man you married I'm like some lame lead singer in a tribute band And just as I snatch victory from the jaws of my defeat You pull the carpet out from underneath my feet Well, I never forget that I'm someone's daddy But I guess I must be careless with my time 'Cause just when I think that I've got my weekend plans You pull the carpet out from underneath my feet I ain't never been no follower of fashion But just like you I got my sense of style So why is it whenever we're together on the street You pull the carpet out from underneath my feet? It's not like you don't love me anymore You just like to send me sprawling on the floor Just like Caesar had his slave to keep him mortal I guess I've got you to cut me down to size 'Cause there's just no one else to knock me off my feet You'll pick me up when I'm feelin' down
