1
When I was crowned a mummy¹s boy
2
by friends I didn¹t like
3
I made a meal of trips to school
4
upon my fathers bike
5
and I used to sit between his legs,
6
perched on a piece of wood
7
and if it ever rained on us
8
I slipped beneath his hood,
9
at home the radio was on
10
Å’wall papered all those years,
11
the world was such a simple place
12
with music to my ears.
13
From Julie Andrews
14
to Gerry Garcia
15
life was all fun and games
16
I was out of my head,
17
and underneath my bed
18
playing with electric trains.
19
I met my friends at Sunday school
20
and playing on the field,
21
inside my bedroom there I found
22
the future was concealed
23
my records stacked up in a pile,
24
collected from the chart
25
with pictures pinned up on the wall
26
I found my beating heart,
27
and at home the stereo was on
28
my feet stomped the floor,
29
a Fender willow cricket bat
30
had left me wanting more.
31
From Julie Andrews
32
to Gerry Garcia
33
life was all fun and games
34
I was out of my head,
35
and underneath my bed
36
playing with electric trains.
37
Kneeling with my torch light
38
turning my transformer
39
sleeping in my wet dreams
40
with my eyeballs stuck in readers wife¹s,
41
pubic hairs were proudly
42
counted everyday I woke
43
manhood took me slowly
44
down and down and down......
45
I chased the girls and made them cry
46
my hair grew down my back
47
the contents of my teenage years
48
were spent down in the sack
49
and I played guitar and formed a band,
50
I pewked up all night long
51
as people came to sit and stare
52
while I raced through my song,
53
at home there was sadly nothing on
54
my childhood had to end,
55
the Sound of Music passed me by
56
just like the Grateful Dead.
57
From Julie Andrews
58
to Gerry Garcia
59
life was all fun and games
60
I was out of my head,
61
and underneath my bed
62
playing with electric trains.
63
From Julie Andrews
64
to Gerry Garcia
65
climbing in that photograph
66
I can touch my stupid face
67
I chose the road to here and now
68
and this very special place
69
where all I am is all I breath
70
its a sober world I chase
71
so I can fix these broken tracks,
72
playing with electric trains.
