You're a Man Now, Boy

Still got the same feet and the same hands

That I did when they made me, little man

But now I wear a suit and tie and Ray Bans

And I've swapped the fizzy drinks out for beer cans

I was a Small Solider and I still am

I can't say what's changed apart from days, and

I loved Jurassic Park, well I still do

Actually I'm the same except that now I take a pill or two

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

I'm not growing up, I'm aging

My mind's incarcerated

Still a boy

You're a man now, boy

And though this body's taller

Sometimes I feel smaller

Just a boy

You're a man now, boy

Pain is still a weakness, still afraid of ghosts

Still partial to a Mars bar and a Sunday roast

Though now I have to think about the water bills

Still feel the pang of guilt about the snails I killed

I smoke too many cigarettes and drink too much

See the news and feel the blues, I'm feeling out of touch

I was an astronaut once upon a time

Now I'm trying to stay grounded, keep some order in my life

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

I'm not growing up, I'm aging

My mind's incarcerated

Still a boy

You're a man now, boy

And though this body's taller

Sometimes I feel smaller

Just a boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

I'm not growing up, I'm aging

My mind's incarcerated

Still a boy

You're a man now, boy

And though this body's taller

Sometimes I feel smaller

Just a boy

You're a man now, boy

I'm not growing up, I'm aging

My mind's incarcerated

Just a boy
