  • There's a place I go
    And I am far away
    There's a TV show
    And I can grow

    Sometimes the hero takes me
    Sometimes I don't let go
    Hello hello

    There's a picture book
    With colored photographs
    There's a comic strip
    That makes me laugh

    Sometimes the lady takes me
    Sometimes I don't let go
    Hello hello

    (Stories for boys, stories for boys)
    (Stories for boys, stories for boys)
    (Stories for boys)

    There's a place I go
    And it's a part of me
    There's a radio
    And I will crawl

    Sometimes the hero takes me
    Sometimes I can't let go
    Hello hello

    (Stories for boys, stories for boys)
    (Stories for boys, stories for boys)
    (Stories for boys)
    (Stories for boys, stories for boys)
    (Stories for boys, stories for boys) Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul Hewson

  • Jeremy from Hopedale, Magreat song,defently a hit.
  • Rob from Santa Monica, CaRemarkable for the Edge's vocal melodies, which were a key ingredient to them becoming successful (he sings the chorus on Sunday Bloody Sunday, you know). Once they got big, it seemed that Bono refused to share the mic anymore.

    The whole Boy album seemed to appeal to the Michael Jacksons of this world who long for their innocent prepubescent days.
