I'll Show You |
| I’ll show you them now, those boys without cares |
| Who’d swapped dirty pictures and talked during prayers |
| They grew up with wisdom they’d stored from «those days» |
| Nobody told them to get in they must change |
| I’ll show you them now. |
| Come with me and |
| I’ll show you them now |
| The teachers laughed with them class idiot style |
| After all they weren’t their kids so why should they mind |
| Boyish good looks held the wrath back a while |
| Then they were drummed in and thumped in and soon left behind |
| Alcoholics, child molesters, nervous wrecks and prima donnas |
| Jilted lovers, office clerks, petty thieves, hard drug pursuers |
| Lonely tramps, awkward misfits, oh anyone of these |
| Mortgaged up families looked at first too mundane |
| But it’s funny how with help all the lucky ones changed |
| Some of them couldn’t, there had to be more |
| Music, I dunno, films, something special perhaps |
| I’ll show you them now, come with me |
| And I’ll show you them now |
| It’s so hard to picture dirty tramps as young boys |
| But if you see a man crying, hold his hand, he’s my friend |
| If these words sound corny, switch this off, I don’t care |
| Nearby he’s still crying, I won’t smile while he’s there |
| Nearby he’s still crying. |
| I won’t smile while he’s there |
