Idiot Child |
| Although he had a past history |
| The mischief has soon passed |
| A spunky little kid from North West Five |
| Longed for the mystery to last |
| Free as the wind |
| Wild as a march hare |
| With oh so much to learn |
| Careful that you don’t get burned |
| The boy who wouldn’t grow up Chasing his own tail |
| The boy who couldn’t grow up An outing on bail |
| Oh idiot child |
| Clutching to life |
| Always made to grow up Always told to shut up Idiot child |
| Clutching to life |
| Always destined to fail |
| Always ending up in jail |
| Lo and behold the gherkin men with their military stance did shout |
| Mark my words Mrs Hutchinson |
| We’ll sort this laddie out |
| The parent teachers association secretly fixed a date |
| A giant swoop is authorised to sign and seal his fate |
| Oh sent away for a year and a day |
| He was taken so orderly |
| And drilled into his delicate shell |
| To behave, normally |
| Oh idiot child |
| Clutching to life |
| (Clutching to life) |
| Idiot child |
| Clutching onto life |
| (Clutching to life) |
| Always destined to fail |
| Always ending up in jail |
| Some things are so predictable ain’t they |
| Some things just never change, look around |
| Most animals, are trained at an early age |
| But some of us just never lay down |
| Idiot child |
| Just clutching to life |
| The boy who never grew up Always made to shut up Idiot child |
| Clutching to life |
| (Clutching to life) |
| Always destined to fail |
| Always ending up in jail |
| Idiot child |
| Clutching to life |
| (Clutching to life) |
| The boy who never grew up Always told to shut up Idiot child |
| Clutching onto life |
| (Clutching to life) |
| Always destined to fail |
| Always ending up in jail |
| Always destined to fail |
| Always winding up in jail |
| Always ending up in jail |
| Always destined to fail |
