| [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 |
