Wild Child  by David Jones © 1989

Wild child crazy with the taste of an early June

Mud dams guttering up the side of the road

You be the Nazi I'll be the hero

Wild child crazy with the taste of an early June

Wild boy swinging through the arms of an evergreen

Death is the wrinkle in an old man's eye

You'll live forever wild boys never die

Wild boy swinging through the arms of an evergreen

Someone somewhere set him straight

God forgot to close the gate

We're lost in this forgotten place

Where wild boys die and wild men play

Lock up your dreams, slip on a noose

Come on boy lets see what we'll make of you

No matter how you try

You are the tears in your daddy's eyes

You will be forgotten

You will be forgotten

You will be forgiven

Wild man crazy for the taste of a silver spoon

You ain't living when the wild boy dies

Silver's the money on a dead man's eyes

Wild man crazy for the taste of a silver spoon

Someone somewhere set him straight

God forgot to close the gate

We're lost in this forgotten place

Where wild boys die and wild men play

Lock up your dreams, slip on a noose

Come on boy lets see what we'll make of you

No matter how you try

You are the tears in your daddy's eyes

You will be forgotten

You will be forgotten

You will be forgiven

Someone somewhere set him straight

God forgot to close the gate

We're lost in this forgotten place

Where wild boys die and wild men play

Lock up your dreams, slip on a noose

Come on boy lets see what we'll make of you

No matter how you try

You are the tears in your daddy's eyes

You will be forgotten

You will be forgotten

You will be forgiven
