The Boy Wonders Lyrics

The Boy Wonders lyrics

I brought you some francs from my travelling chest

You'll space me the thanks 'til  you know I'm the best

So come Hogmanay when love comes in slurs

Resolutions I'll make and you can label them "hers"

We threw our hands up high, we nearly touched the sky,

We clicked our heels and spat and swore

We'd never let it die



     All those boy wonders

     Sold their medals when they saw this train

     Now this boy wonders

     When he'll feel the fall of honest rain

     I came from high land where the hopefuls have to hesitate,

     Now this boy wonders

     Why the words were never worth the wait.



I'm waiting, waiting,

In pastel paper pink over grey

We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away

The poor excuse they peddle as their prose.



Dry your tears, tie your tongue and you're never sixteen

And I'll give you a glimpse of the hard and the clean

And my travelling chest will be open to you

And boy will you learn that you haven't a clue.



I even asked my best friend but he could not explain

It hit me when I left him

I felt the rain and called it genius,

Called it genius.



     chorus repeat
