Lyrics
I see Johnny in the middle of a roundabout, playing
In his hand was a paper aeroplane
Then I looked around
And he was gone
Am I to blame
I see Mary standing by the river side, waiting
She thinks the queen is coming by
Then I looked around
And she was gone
Why
(Lalalalalalalala etc.)
There's a thousand answers that I don't know
I don't know
I know how
There's a thousand feelings that I can't show
I can't show
Just right now
I see Simon standing on the railway bridge, spotting
He's waiting there to see the fastest train
Then I looked around
And he was gone
Am I to blame
I see Jimmy climbing on the milkman's van, laughing...
Now Mary and Johnny are all together
And Simon and Jimmy are free
To touch anything and everything they see
I see Jimmy climbing on the milkman's van, laughing
On his feet were a pair of granddad's shoes
Then I looked around
And he was gone
Are we to lose
Life's just a game, you fly a paper plane, there is no aim (18x)
