he's a desperate boy
he owns a lost poem
chases buses he's missed
blowing kisses at them
in the hope that they will stop
and let him on
a desperate boy
he owns a pair of shoes
that he's never worn
cos he had the blues
when he had no shoes
till one day on the street
met a man with no feet
he's a desperate boy
he goes CD shopping in service stations
“hey kev, this is 'real country'"
you didn't think i'd let this one pass me by
he's a desperate boy
he wants to sleep all day
with a hundred butterlfies
in the shape of a miracle
hovering a foot above his head
just so that you can all watch
I suggested, if he were to do this, do it on a sunday
he's a desperate boy
