[00:11.59] That toy that you got
[00:13.78] From an old cereal box
[00:16.78] Takes pride of place of my window ledge
[00:21.52] Them pop cap guns
[00:23.68] And your father’s Bensons
[00:26.58] Gonna make a man out of you some day
[00:32.20] And ain’t it funny how it’s all worked out
[00:34.65] You’ve got a job and a family now
[00:37.30] And I’m singing these same old songs
[00:39.90] In empty bars and cheap restaurants
[00:42.51] But it feels like a matter of days
[00:45.06] Since knock and run and all the games we played
[00:47.25] Sitting on the rooftops after dark
[00:49.76] Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
[00:54.95] And then running home for tea
[00:57.00] Of mash and gravy
[00:59.81] The Shipping Forecast is on the radio
[01:04.86] Mum’s in a stress
[01:07.42] Says she only does her best
[01:09.96] But we don’t appreciate where the money goes
[01:15.63] Would you even recognise me now
[01:18.27] I’ve lost love and I’ve fallen down
[01:20.72] Felt the weight of the world on my shoulder
[01:23.37] My young face got a little bit older
[01:25.91] Had my heart been torn in two
[01:28.42] Surely hope it doesn’t happen to you
[01:30.57] Since sitting on the rooftops after dark
[01:33.15] Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
[01:40.65] I won’t tie my laces,
[01:43.31] I won’t brush my hair
[01:45.90] I won’t wear nice dresses on a Sunday
[01:50.85] I say three Hail Mary’s and I make my peace
[01:55.96] With Friday night DJs down back alleys
[02:01.61] Ain’t it funny how it’s all worked out
[02:04.21] You’ve got a job and a family now
[02:06.82] And I’m singing these same old songs
[02:09.37] In empty bars and cheap restaurants
[02:11.68] But it feels like a matter of days
[02:14.42] Since knock and run and all the games we played
[02:17.23] Sitting on the rooftops after dark
[02:19.68] Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
[02:22.83] And my heart been torn in two
[02:25.24] Surely hope it doesn’t happen to you
[02:27.54] Sitting on the rooftops after dark
[02:30.08] Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
[00:11.59] That toy that you got
[00:13.78] From an old cereal box
[00:16.78] Takes pride of place of my window ledge
