Marillion - Three Minute Boy Lyrics
Here todayGone this afternoonAnother tuneWe almost rememberWhats the storySex and drugs againBusiness as usualThe clocks already tickingLa la la laWhen he was youngStaring at the tvHe watched the funHappen to other peopleNow they screamAs they run after himLike a dreamLike elvis and the beatlesA three minute song is all he wroteHe only did it for a jokeThey played him on the radioFrom tokyo to timbuktuA three minute boy, aint that somethin?They named their children after himThe good times rolled beneath his feetHe skipped along the one-way streetShes a pretty girlShe dont know how it startedShe made a movieHe almost rememberedShe measured upThey moved into a basementWere so in love!They giggled to the nationLa la la laThree minute millionaire they saidThe numbers rattled round his headThey spun him three times round the globeShe waited patiently at homeAnd all the pretty girls wanted himIn places that hed never beenToo much love will do you inForgive forgive forgive forgiveYeah yeah oooThree minute kid is here againSurrounded by three minute friendsHe found someone to understandTo shock the world and hold his handNo religion, no restraintNo direction, no complaintsNo future and no way outNo time now to think about itAll the moneys goneHe dont know what they spent it onGirlfriends gone off with the jagGone back to her mum and dadHes curled up on the studio floorHe just cant do it anymoreThe flashgun went off without warningHell read about it tomorrow morning...(shes goin out with someone newIn this week at number twoThree minute boy aint that somethin.)
