Bombsite Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Leapfrog over fences
Little time, less senses
Here by this railway cutting
Life goes quick and it goes without warning
That's how life is in my bombsite dwelling
But I don't believe you have to be an idiot
To get somewhere these days
I don't believe you have to sell your soul
And do what everybody says
Or get carried away
Nowadays I fall among the empty shells and pray
Give thanks - I'm happy where I am
It's just as well
Well, I thank God I never closed my eyes
Thank God I never compromised
Bombsite boy, the bombsite boy
Thank God I wasn't mesmerized
Bombsite boy, the bombsite boy - the bombsite boy
There's a killer in your subway
An anarchist on your street
There's a breakdown on your TV
You can't find no relief
In fact no feelings at all
Your war is totally internal
At least I'm sure that mine is - on the outside
I can thank God I never closed my eyes
Thank God I never compromised
Bombsite boy, the bombsite boy
Thank God I wasn't mesmerized
Bombsite boy, the bombsite boy - the bombsite boy
