Boys in grown up’s clothing.

I wrote this song when the campaign for the acknowledgment of male pride teamed up with the society for the protection of white privilege to save money on mail shots. Feel my wrath.

The whole evening was going really well until this happened. Look away now.

Horrific isn’t it. Who could be responsible for such a random act of over-organisation? AG. Very much failing to understand the duties of a lead guitarist.


Such as the boy

Such as the boy – 01.05.25

Lyrics

Oh,

When you were only 10 years old.

Your brave young heart it came of age

Nothing to write home about.

And Oh,

If only you could write

If only you were away from home

Something to write home about.

Such as the man in the suit

Who’d come and slay the dragons for you

Such as the boy

Such as the boy

Oh

All at once it hit you.

The gradually eased away

It only took a lifetime

And oh

If only you were vile

If only you had stamped on some hearts

You could’ve been a hero

Such as the man in the suit

Who’d come and slay the dragons for you

Such as the boy

Such as the boy

Such as the man in the suit

Who’d come and slay the dragons for you

Such as the boy

Such as the boy

Such as the boy

Such as the boy


Thanks for listening.
