It's the simple things like the robots stevie g draws
and the ease with which we seem to pull those tricks 
there are moments of escape for every one of us 
and the beauty in the times that we create 
i saw you smiling 
and i need my vehicles and animals 
and i will be alright 
take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes 
he can play all by himself for many hours 
i have never seen a kid who's so content 
there is nothing from the outside that can touch him 
cos he's just learning how to be alone with one 
i saw you smiling 
and i need my vehicles and animals 
and i will be alright 
take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes 
and i need my vehicles and animals 
and i will be alright 
take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes 

lying down on my bed 
i just got another kick to the head 
oh yeah you're a part of me 
yet another branch on the family tree 
salt on my fingers salt in my cuts 
salt on my face and salt in my guts 
it's been a battle but we've come through ok 
stop what you're doing and play

cos we've got our vehicles and animals so
we're gonna be alright 
there's no need for us to go back in time 
because we've found our open eyes 

we've got our vehicles and animals 
so we're gonna be alright 
there's no need for us to go back in time 
because we've found our open eyes
