Childhood |
| I saw innocent kids turn cruel |
| In the playground at school |
| Poor Claudius played the fool |
| Survival is cool |
| One for the space to prowl as you please |
| Two for the pulpit down on your knees |
| We’ve hanged our hearts to shame |
| And no one’s to blame |
| Hey, everything was clearer than today |
| Oh, you have to hang on to your childhood |
| O-o-open your eyes or stay as you are my friend |
| You have to hang on, hang on |
| Hang on |
| My life is a Milbury’s home |
| On Hereford Way |
| My life is a Barclays' loan now |
| And a mortgage to pay |
| Let’s drink to freedom and family ties |
| Here’s to the bags that are under my eyes |
| We’ve opened our eyes to pride |
| With nothing inside |
| Hey, everything was clearer than today |
| You have to hang on to your childhood |
| Open your eyes or stay as you are my friend |
| You have to hold on, hold on |
| La-la-la-la |
| La la la |
| How have you been, I hope you go far |
| Together we’ll stand and prop up the bar |
| I’m watching you now cleaning your car |
| Open your eyes or stay as you are |
| Open your eyes or stay as you are |
| You have to hold on to your childhood |
| Ya-ya-you have to hold on to your childhood |
| Bop-ba-da-de-bom-bom |
| Bop-ba-da-de-bom-bom |
| Bop-ba-da-de-bom-bom |
| Bop-ba-da-de-bom-bom |
| Hang on, hang on with just a little more heart now |
| With just a little more |
| Come on, a-just a little more heart now |
| Just a little bit |
| Come on, with just a little more heart now |
| Heart, heart, now, now (Just a little bit) |
| Come on, come on, just a little more heart now |
| Just a little bit |
| Come on, come on (just a little more heart now) |
| Come on, come on (Just a little bit) |
| Come on |
| I hope you are very happy |
| Hope you’re very happy |
| Hope you’re very happy |
| Hope you’re very, very, very, very, very, very, very happy |
| (Come on, with just a little more heart now) |
| (Just a little bit) |
| (Come on, hang on) |
