I just remembered a boy I used to know
|
He lived up the road at 162
|
Lots of rings and funny clothes
|
He wasn't one to worry about what other people thought
|
|
Peter Collard where are you now?
|
You used to walk past my house every day
|
Your head half-shaved from the operation
|
The doctor said nobody would notice
|
Do you remember?
|
|
Throwin' plums on your neighbour's lawn
|
Then runnin' away when we saw their car comin'
|
On Rocky Knob you taught me how
|
To smoke cigarettes
|
All these little memories
|
I still haven't forgotten
|
|
Peter Collard where are you now?
|
You used to walk past my house every day
|
You know I'd still have those penny bungers
|
You gave me
|
But the police took them away
|
|
A touch of madness a touch of sadness
|
A touch of madness
|
|
You bought flowers for a girl
|
And every week you would bring her new ones
|
No response would you get from her
|
You weren't to know she was allergic to them
|
|
Peter Collard where are you now?
|
You used to walk past my house everyday
|
There's a drawing of you at my parent's house
|
I'll have to look for it someday
