Squeeze - Electric Trains Lyrics
(difford/tilbrook)When I was crowned a mummys boy by friends I didnt likeI made a meal of trips to school upon my fathers bikeI used to sit between his legs, perched on a piece of woodIf it ever rained on us, Id slip beneath his hoodAnd at home the radio was onFrom julie andrews to jerry garciaLife was all fun and gamesI was out of my head and underneath my bedPlaying with electric trainsAt home the stereo was onMy head was filled with rockI played a willow cricket bat guitarAnd soloed round the clockMy records stacked up in a pileCollected from the chartsAnd top of the popsKneeling with torchlight shiningBefore me in my bedMy eyeballs stuck in readers wivesPubic hairs proudly counted everydayManhood took me slowlyOut into the milky wayI chased the girls and made them cryMy hair grew down my backThe passing of my teenage yearsWere spent down in the sackI played guitar and formed a bandI puked up all night longAs people came to sit and stareWhile I raced through my songsThe sound of music passed by meJust like the grateful dead
