Just Checkin’

Lyrics

[Jacqui Abbott] I came in here just to see his guilty face I'm just checkin' He's been dead twenty years, but I sort of miss the chase I'm just checkin' [Paul Heaton] I've seen folk just like her pop their noses 'round the door They're just checkin' If this is where the husband was between 1 and 4? They're just checkin' [Both] Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard When he's moved from Old White Hart and he's doing the old graveyard We're running a check on the love we had taken away We're running a check that death wasn't fortnight astray Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard When he's moved from Old White Hart and he's doing the old graveyard [Paul Heaton] I've seen folk just like her [Jacqui Abbott] The mask of sobriety for afternoons he'd save I'm just checkin' If he could fool me regularly, he'd certainly fool this grave I'm just checkin' [Paul Heaton] I've seen those widows pray for the heart they had taken away They're just checkin' They pretend they've just popped by like they popped by yesterday They're just checkin' [Both] Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard When he's moved from Old White Hart and he's doing the old graveyard We're running a check on the love we had taken away We're running a check that death wasn't fortnight astray Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard When he's moved from Old White Hart and he's doing the old graveyard [Jacqui Abbott] I came 'round here in case he left a slate [Paul Heaton] No one settles up around here like the widowed or the late [Jacqui Abbott] We've seen folk like you settle bills or family feuds [Paul Heaton] But no one's bought a drink for those that death excludes [Both] We're just thinkin', we're just checkin' We're just thinkin', we're just thinkin' We're just sinkin', we're just sinkin'
