[00:01.40] Album:Yours Truly, Angry Mob
[00:02.52]
[00:13.62] We went to the youth club
[00:16.55] and we looked out of place.
[00:19.23] I didn't know where to look
[00:21.43] So I, looked at your face.
[00:25.12] But you were a boxing champ,
[00:28.67] and I was a weakling.
[00:31.67] You didn't give me a chance,
[00:34.43] You gave me a beating.
[00:36.55] And I thank you very much
[00:38.87] that you did.
[00:41.36]
[00:43.74] And as the time went by
[00:46.43] we stayed out of trouble,
[00:50.31] Before I could realise
[00:52.74] my age had doubled.
[00:54.74] The man I became is a tragic bore,
[00:58.05] And he's not a boxing champ anymore.
[01:01.12] If there's one thing i've learnt
[01:02.68] it's to run away,
[01:03.67] At least I enjoy what I do today.
[01:06.25] And I thank you very much
[01:08.62] that I do.
