Pity The Child (From Chess) - Colm Wilkinson[00:00:00]

When I was nine I learned survival[00:00:02]

Taught myself not to care[00:00:06]

I was my single good companion[00:00:10]

Taking my comfort there[00:00:13]

Up in my room I planned my conquests[00:00:17]

On my own never asked for a helping hand[00:00:20]

No one would understand[00:00:26]

I never asked the pair who fought below[00:00:31]

Just in case they said no[00:00:37]

Pity the child who has ambition[00:00:46]

Knows what he wants to do[00:00:50]

Knows that he'll never fit the system[00:00:53]

Others expect him to[00:00:57]

Pity the child who knew his parents[00:01:01]

Saw their faults [00:01:05]

Saw their love die before his eyes[00:01:06]

Pity the child that wise[00:01:10]

He never asked did I cause your distress [00:01:15]

Just in case they said yes[00:01:21]

When I was twelve my father moved out[00:01:26]

Left with a whimper not with a shout[00:01:32]

I didn't miss him he made it perfectly clear[00:01:38]

I was a fool and probably queer[00:01:44]

Fool that I was I thought this would bring[00:01:49]

Those he had left closer together[00:01:55]

She made her move the moment he crawled away[00:02:02]

I was the last the woman told[00:02:07]

She never let her bed get cold[00:02:11]

Someone moved in I shut my door[00:02:15]

Someone to treat her[00:02:19]

Just the same way as before[00:02:21]

I took the road of least resistance[00:02:28]

I had my game to play[00:02:31]

I had the skill and more the hunger[00:02:35]

Easy to get away[00:02:38]

Pity the child with no such weapons[00:02:42]

Do defence no escape from the ties that bind[00:02:45]

Always a step behind[00:02:50]

I never called to tell her all I'd done[00:02:56]

I was only her son[00:03:02]

Pity the child but not forever[00:03:30]

Not if he stays that way[00:03:33]

He can get all he ever wanted[00:03:37]

If he's prepared to pay[00:03:40]

Pity instead the careless mother[00:03:44]

What she missed [00:03:48]

What she lost when she let me go[00:03:49]

And I wonder does she know[00:03:53]

I wouldn't call a crazy thing to do[00:03:59]

Just in case she said who[00:04:06]
