Joan Armatrading - Head Of The Table lyrics

Caught this bit of news From unexpected quarters You in your close-knit family Who says what you should be after Don't you know what you should be after Unless you consult the head of the table The head of the table He's stern and strong Caught this bit of news From unexpected quarters Such a close-knit family Keeps you on the straight and narrow You find that you're unable To do what you want The head of the table He's stern and strong So run along Little boy run along The head of the table would bend If you're able to prove that you're right And he's wrong
