He's walking home all alone
It's the second time this week
And it's been getting him down
Turns on the TV to BBC3
Maybe Newsround will drown out the sound
Of taunting kids at school.
They see him, they don't like him

Ted Talmeer he's coming home
Ted Talmeer he's all alone
Heading on down to Stanley Road,
Walking down the Sunnyside,
But wherever he goes, everybody knows
He's a kid who's made up his mind

Feeling he's failed. Leaving the rails.
Finish off that can of coke and see the fountain spray drift
'Someone rescue me! I've just turned fifteen
But it feels like all the weight of this world pressing down on me'
They watch him, no-one helps him

Ted Talmeer is coming home
Ted Talmeer is all alone
Heading on down to Stanley Road,
Walking down the Sunnyside,
But wherever he goes, everybody knows
He's a kid who's made up his mind

The only way to make the pain go away
(Maybe now... listen now... someone please... hear me)
You gotta know it's not a cry in the dark.
(Maybe now... listen now... someone please...)
This is real. This is me. Love me. Love me. Love me.
