Only a Boy |
Single file in the girls corridor |
Come along, Stewart laddie! |
Stewart boy, you’ll never be much, |
'cause you’re too busy acting the fool. |
Thank you Sir for them few kind words, |
on my last day of school. |
Oh, but my mama said, I could be a success, |
if I’d only get myself out of bed. |
Words of wisdom, but I wasn’t list’ning, |
I had plans in my head. |
Only a boy, |
trying it on, |
coming on strong, |
restless to roam, |
only a boy, |
silly and proud, |
reckless and loud, |
impressing the crowd, |
only a boy. |
Rock’n’Roll was in my brain, |
Eddie Cochrane running through my brain. |
Skin tight trousers in council houses, |
the unemployment exchange. |
The blues I played were Mississippi made |
and ev’ry Friday night I’d fall in love. |
Football fields and teenage pills |
nothing’s enough. |
Only a boy, |
dressing to kill, |
passion to spill, |
hand in the till. |
Only a boy, |
slipping it in, |
thin as a pin, |
chasing a dream, |
only a boy. |
climb down off the school roof laddie |
Oh and them dukes of freedom, I used to believe them, |
and all their rebelious vows. |
The critics, the cynics, who never understood it, |
where are they now? |
And all the wondering and the stumbling |
that goes hand in hand with change. |
The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning, |
or am I still the same? |
Only a boy |
laughing aloud, |
quick as a shot, |
nobody can stop. |
Only a boy, |
plans of his own, |
leaving his home, |
knows where he’s going, |
only a boy. |
only a boy, |
only a boy, |
only a boy, ha ha, oh |
