Dexys Midnight Runners Show Me Lyrics

Show Me Lyrics

Show me them now

Those wild little boys

The ones that spelled
trouble 

And stole all their toys

Young boys with contempt

Dreams and schemes in their eyes

Strong, rich in spirit

With milk
stains on their ties



A little while later

The first ones to
smoke

Oh, I just stood there in awe

Laughing loud at their
jokes

Tinny transistors Honk Kong made

And this week’s Parade

Ah, if they’d accept me

I’d have given anything



Show me
them now

Let me look and see

How they’ve grown up now



Stolen wristwatches

And big studded rings

Tall tales of girls

And all that kind of thing

Ah, they just had something precious

You know what I mean

Such wisdom and style

Like I’d never
seen

They helped me get older

Pulled me through each bad phase

Show me them now

Those boys from those days



Show me them
now

Let me look and see

How they’ve grown up now
