Little Boy

about

"I have a very childlike rage, and a very childlike loneliness." - Richey Edwards

lyrics

I am not a bottle on your wall
I am not prepared to take the fall
When you look at me do you see anything that I don’t see?
Should I be proud of me?


When I was nine years old
I stole my mother’s life, I’m told
I was only looking out
For this lonely little boy


I’m a little boy, I’m nothing to you
I’m ashamed of the change I’m going through


I want this world to think that I’m cool
With all my pained expressions I learned at school
When the curtain falls will I be thought of happily at all?
Will I deserve my role?


After nineteen years
I wrote this song for all the tears
I’ve only ever taken care
Of this lonely little boy


I’m a little boy, I’m nothing to you
I’m ashamed of the change I’m going through
