When I Was a Kid - The Soft Boys

When I was a kid

I finished what I did

And I went upstairs in my dressing gown

So I was a kid everyone is that

I went up and I made damn sure

I never came down

Ain’t it strange how people get older

They wear you on their head

And they print you on their shoulder

And never believe

I’ll be more than free

At least evolve for me

When I was a kid

I wore a broad brim

And sat on him

His toothpaste major is no one oak level

People who traced your new ply devil and aging bee

I swear I could murder that guy

Though I always smile at him when he comes by

He turned me into a businessman

He turned me into a businessman

He turned me into a businessman

He turned me

When I was a kid

I drew blank mushrooms

Sat in ballrooms

Took it on

Then I knew I did

Have the lot when I’d got what I was given

I just took it and

I just couldn’t form

Some people get bigger

Some just get dead

When their figures are bled

'Cause their heads are

Stoven right in by the waste of the time

They’ve been living in their hats so blindly

Time
