The Boy Wonders Lyrics by Aztec Camera

The Boy Wonders

Words and music by roddy frame


I brought you some francs from my travelling chest
Youll spare me the thanks til you know Im the best
So come hogmonay when love comes in slurs
Resolutions Ill make and you can label them hers
We threw our hands up high we, nearly touched the sky,
We clicked our heels and spat and swore
Wed never let it die

[chorus]
All those boy wonders
Sold their medals when they saw this train
Now this boy wonders
When hell feel the fall of honest rain
I came from high land where the hopefuls have to hesitate
Now this boy wonders
Why the words were never worth the wait

Im waiting, waiting.
In pastel paper pink over grey
We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away
The poor excuse they peddle as their prose.

Dry your tears, tie your tongue and youre never sixteen
And Ill give you a glimpse of the hard and the clean
And my travelling chest will be open to you
And boy will you learn that you havent a clue

I even asked my best friend but he could not explain
It hit me when I left him
I felt the rain and called it genius,
Called it genius.

Chorus repeat
