WILD AS I WAS

Our parents had split

Our family of six

They were too busy

To notice I was missing

I was in the middle of it

Living it rough

Tower block dust

Nobody could visit

I never could admit it

I was in the middle of it

CHORUS

My spiked up hair

My second-hand dress

Somebody asked me

always say yes

I never called my Mama

Would you dare run away West

Get on a bike if somebody said

Thank god I'm your mama

Thank god you're not

as wild as I was

You're just like your Dad

Like holding my hand

You tell me when you're worried

I wish you wouldn't worry

Darling if you only knew

When I was 19

I was smoking everything

I was Pulling down cars and crashing bars

You'd never know, you'd never know..

CHORUS

You're older now

I'll take you to the house

Of st Barnabas

You're older now

And I can be proud

For the love in us

CHORUS
