A Little Bit of Class

Peter Capaldi

She looked off of the telly
Off 'Ready Steady Go'
There with my one cool uncle
In the parlour with the folks
As the songs began to flow
I was watching from the landing
Too young to join the party
Down below

But she looked up
And she smiled at me
And I didn't have to ask

Why they said she was
A little bit of class

I thought my folks were perfect, then something went awry
And I remember she was sitting with my mother
First time I saw my mother cry
And one time she was with us
When the fireworks began

She looked down
She took my hand
And I didn't have to ask

Why they said she was
A little bit of class

A little bit of class
No stately home or crystal glass
Just a little bit of love
You hoped would last
A little bit of time

You passed with a little bit
A little bit of class

And now these worlds have vanished
And we're in another zone
Where you got the news in passing
From someone on their mobile phone
Did I remember Muriel who'd been family for a while?
She'd lost the fight, in the fevered night
Now Muriel was gone

So long to
A little bit of class
