i went to buy a a gas bottle at first i wanted to buy a big one but then i hadn t got enough money so i had to buy a smaller one and i think if i bought a bigger one then it would have been the way i wanted it and then we went home and i put the children to bed and i tidied the flat and everything and then they were asleep and everything was a kind of night i made a bed in the bathroom i carried them there and put on the gas bottle but today when i think back about that if god did take me i would ve have been in hell because i wasn t right reached back for the bottle and rubbed against the lamp genie came out smiling like some eastern tramp he said hey boy what s happening what is going on you can have three wishes if you don t take too long if you don t take too long i said well i wish they all were happy in the lebanon wish somebody d help me write this song i wish when i was young my old man had not been gone genie said consider it done there s something in the air and you don t know what it is you see someone through a window who you ve just learned to miss and the road leads on to glory but you ve used up your last wish your last wish and you want her to come home bring her home genie said i m sorry but that s the way it goes where the hell s the lamp sucker it s time for me to go bye there s something in the air and you don t know what it is you see someone through a window who you ve just learned to miss and the road leads on to glory but you ve used up your last wish your last wish and you want her to come home  i go there sometimes twice a year now sometimes only once and sometimes when i feel like crying i just go there 3
