| [00:11.59] |
That toy that you got |
| [00:13.78] |
From an old cereal box |
| [00:16.78] |
Takes pride of place of my window ledge |
| [00:21.52] |
Them pop cap guns |
| [00:23.68] |
And your father’s Bensons |
| [00:26.58] |
Gonna make a man out of you some day |
| [00:32.20] |
And ain’t it funny how it’s all worked out |
| [00:34.65] |
You’ve got a job and a family now |
| [00:37.30] |
And I’m singing these same old songs |
| [00:39.90] |
In empty bars and cheap restaurants |
| [00:42.51] |
But it feels like a matter of days |
| [00:45.06] |
Since knock and run and all the games we played |
| [00:47.25] |
Sitting on the rooftops after dark |
| [00:49.76] |
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars |
| [00:54.95] |
And then running home for tea |
| [00:57.00] |
Of mash and gravy |
| [00:59.81] |
The Shipping Forecast is on the radio |
| [01:04.86] |
Mum’s in a stress |
| [01:07.42] |
Says she only does her best |
| [01:09.96] |
But we don’t appreciate where the money goes |
| [01:15.63] |
Would you even recognise me now |
| [01:18.27] |
I’ve lost love and I’ve fallen down |
| [01:20.72] |
Felt the weight of the world on my shoulder |
| [01:23.37] |
My young face got a little bit older |
| [01:25.91] |
Had my heart been torn in two |
| [01:28.42] |
Surely hope it doesn’t happen to you |
| [01:30.57] |
Since sitting on the rooftops after dark |
| [01:33.15] |
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars |
| [01:40.65] |
I won’t tie my laces, |
| [01:43.31] |
I won’t brush my hair |
| [01:45.90] |
I won’t wear nice dresses on a Sunday |
| [01:50.85] |
I say three Hail Mary’s and I make my peace |
| [01:55.96] |
With Friday night DJs down back alleys |
| [02:01.61] |
Ain’t it funny how it’s all worked out |
| [02:04.21] |
You’ve got a job and a family now |
| [02:06.82] |
And I’m singing these same old songs |
| [02:09.37] |
In empty bars and cheap restaurants |
| [02:11.68] |
But it feels like a matter of days |
| [02:14.42] |
Since knock and run and all the games we played |
| [02:17.23] |
Sitting on the rooftops after dark |
| [02:19.68] |
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars |
| [02:22.83] |
And my heart been torn in two |
| [02:25.24] |
Surely hope it doesn’t happen to you |
| [02:27.54] |
Sitting on the rooftops after dark |
| [02:30.08] |
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars |
