You have grown up. Smoke-stack shadows in your eyes. And with annual courtroom ties, Cigarette burns in your clothes, Sugar spoons and frozen toes. And as for love;
Oh God, you farce. Taught and brought up on your verse. Breaking rank deserves a curse.
Go home now son. I've forbidden what you love. Break your own glass with your glove.
So you make blue the air. And with hands, in pockets, clenched; Swear to brutalise his wench, Burn some holes into his floor, Maybe petrol bomb his door. Maybe not. Maybe not.
'Cause that's youth today; They will fall on anyone in the name of having fun Or is it pressure from you peers? As the cries fall on deaf ears. What have I done? What have I done?
