| Believe it not I wasn’t always this massive
|
| I didn’t haved a beard and I didn’t need glasses
|
| I liked to read
|
| Secret Seven and The BFG
|
| Spider man comic books
|
| Heavy metal magazines
|
| Whatever, I dug words and we didn’t have a telly mate
|
| Jus ran about the place and played
|
| Every single lucky day
|
| Lucky me
|
| I was raised
|
| In a valley
|
| In Wales
|
| Big Lakes
|
| Slate mountains
|
| Fountains
|
| You could hear the echoes of your shouting ringing out for miles
|
| Knew all the neighbours round the way they faces was all smiles
|
| The nearest town was miles
|
| But why should I care?
|
| When everything a little kid could want was right there?
|
| Frogspawn, long grass
|
| Tower, come see man!
|
| Tricicle, paddle pool
|
| Power fist He Man!
|
| Can you believe man
|
| I wished those years away
|
| Oh, what I wouldn’t give to be like I was back in the day
|
| For one day
|
| (Chorus) Back in the day I was young
|
| I’m not a kid anymore
|
| But somedays
|
| I wish I was a kid again
|
| Back in the day I was young
|
| I’m not a kid anymore
|
| But somedays
|
| I wish I was a kid again
|
| But soon school comes
|
| And so ends the summertime
|
| Unready for a glummer time
|
| Initially I’m stunned and I’m
|
| Sure shit’ll be just fine but it isn’t
|
| The whole process turns your nest into a prison
|
| What was is is what is isn’t
|
| What you thought was just a dream
|
| And What you have to now accept
|
| Is that some people will be mean
|
| There’s a world that comes between
|
| What you’ve thought and you’ve seen
|
| If you you’re gonna get on you must now
|
| Abandon what you’ve been
|
| And become what they say or
|
| They will make you pay, oh
|
| Each and very day you’re
|
| Certified a gayer
|
| From that plastic chair you’re sitting in
|
| The trousers that you’re shitting in
|
| The margins that you’ve written in
|
| You’re having trouble fitting in
|
| They’ll break your brain if you give em a chance
|
| Whether it be 'tacking what you look like or the way you choose to dance
|
| If you question for a second then they’ll be blowing down your house
|
| But whatver, don’t you ever, don’t you ever shut your mouth, son
|
| Putting up a bit of a protest
|
| When your mam tries washing you
|
| Adam and The Ants outs inherent moshing
|
| You’ve no real concept of rock what’s popular
|
| You don’t give a gosh if you’ve got no dosh
|
| And you don’t get told anything about hiroshima
|
| You think you’re the dopest and there ain’t no stopping you
|
| And there ain’t no stopping you —
|
| Over field, up a wall
|
| Doesn’t matter if you fall
|
| Anythings possible
|
| When you’re small
|
| As I recall, I felt far more tall
|
| I’m sure I was far more cool
|
| And all we had to worry about was, like, woodlice and bug bites
|
| Feathers and gobshites
|
| Bedtime in daylight
|
| In awe of the weather, yeah we’re clever, how:
|
| I guess we’ll never be as young as we are right now… |
