We Were Children

  • It was a day like today
    A Sunday afternoon
    When they took you away
    Down to Hades in a shopping trolley
    With a magazine and a suitcase

    They stole your clothes
    I took your watch
    I couldn't look you in the eyes
    Why is it always those you love the most
    You criticise?
    Say oh no stranger
    You're just like me
    These things happen
    We were children
    In the mid-90s

    Say oh no stranger
    You're just like me
    We get older
    They get younger
    It was you or me

    We stood there
    Throwing ice cream in your hair
    Oh I solemnly swear
    It's the thing I life I regret the most
    Leaving you standing there
    And if you asked me
    I'd pull my eyes out
    And when I woke up blind
    If you forgave me I would sleep at night
    Knowing I've led a good life

    Say oh no stranger
    You're just like me
    These things happen
    We were children
    In the mid-90s

    Say oh no stranger
    You're just like me
    We get older
    They get younger
    It was you or me

    Learning how to keep living

    Oh no stranger
    You're just like me
    These things happen
    We were children
    In the mid-90s

    Say oh no stranger
    You're just like me
    We get older
    They get younger
    It was you or me Writer/s: DAN WHITE, JAMES MICHAEL CRATCHLEY, JONATHAN SAMUEL LLOYD, MIGUEL KOCH
