The Coral

The Coral - Bill McCai songtekst

Je score:

Family taught him right from wrong
The local tales and children's songs
Sunday school was his shelter
With his friends Joe and Walter

Now those days so far away
An empty swing where he once played
Now he's got so fat and bald
He never thought that he'd grow old

And everyday when he gets the train
Looks out the window and he thinks in vain
That I could only be that boy again

He's got a sales job and it gets him down
Same old faces, same old sounds
Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs
Documents and labelled racks

His wife can't stand the sight of him
With his routine glass of gin
She makes his lunch of processed ham
And waits in for the meter man

And everyday when he gets the train
looks out the window and he thinks in vain
That I could only be that boy again

(Take it away Bill)

He could be that boy again

Another day, another gin
His kids don't even notice him
Something's different about his face
His happy smile seems out of place

His family gathered round for tea
Eyes fixed on the new telly
A news flash came and then it said
Bill McCai was just found dead

No more windows, no more trains
Hung himself out in the rain
Now he'll never be that boy again

And we say
Bye, bye Bill Mccai
Bye, bye Bill Mccai
Bye, bye Bill Mccai
