The Boy (Live at Bush Hall)

Chapter One

Robin woke one morning

Broke his fast with a worm

Tried flying on his commute

But he floundered and fell to the ground

Realised that his wings didn't work

Lying down on the ground

Saw the flowers were nice from below

Hedgehog came wandering to him

"You don't look right," Hedgehog said

Picking the dirt off his spines

"I know who will fix this for you

Go and find Mole"

He looked up, saw a boy

Offered the flowers to him

"Keep them for you, you've only got you"

He said, with a bang, he was gone

Who was the boy?

Who was the boy?

Who was the boy?

Chapter Two

Robin spent the morning

Hopping to find Mrs. Mole

Knew that she was struggling to find

The good that a mole could bring

"Who's this smiling boy

Crawling out of me?

Wish he'd be a good, kind mole

He might want to eat meat"

She looked straight into his eyes

Tears rolling into her ears

“Maybe I'm better just being a daughter”

Although she couldn't deny

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Chapter Three

Mrs. Mole wiped her tears away

Looked at Robin's broken wings

"What do you expect a mole to fix?

Go and find Deer"

Robin dragged his body

Through the forest to the ground

Knew that that Deer lived a solitary life

Couldn’t find a print on the ground

Robin sunk down to the earth, the mud pulled him gradually in

"Who am I to think that my selfish genes should keep going on?

Can I be the father

Like I dreamt about?"

Robin looked up, saw a hoof

Tried to get up to the ground

"Help me, Deer, please, help me, dear"

He reached his wings to the Deer

The Deer looked down, he liked to be alone

With a sigh, he gave him a lift

"I knew it was you, I'm glad it was you"

He knew from now he'd be alone

"I won't try to fly

I won't try to fly"

"I won't try to fly”

"I knew it was you, I hoped it was you"

From then, he knew he was alone

"I won't try to fly"

"I knew it was you, I hoped it was you"

From then, he knew he was alone

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy
