Bill McCai - The Coral[00:00:00]
Familytaught him right from wrong[00:00:10]
With local tales and children's songs[00:00:12]
Sunday school was his shelter[00:00:14]
With his friends Joe and Walter[00:00:16]
Now those days so far away[00:00:19]
An empty swing where he once played[00:00:21]
Now he's gone so fat and bald[00:00:24]
He never thought that he'd grow old[00:00:26]
An' everyday when he gets the train[00:00:29]
Looks out the window and he thinks in vain[00:00:31]
If I could only be that boy again[00:00:34]
Sales job it gets him down[00:00:40]
Same old faces same old sounds[00:00:42]
Heart attacks orthopedic backs[00:00:44]
Documents and labeled racks[00:00:47]
His wife can't stand the sight of him[00:00:49]
With his routine glass of gin[00:00:52]
She makes his lunch of processed ham[00:00:54]
I'm waiting for the meter man[00:00:56]
An' everyday when he gets the train[00:00:59]
Looks out the window and he thinks in vain[00:01:01]
If I could only be that boy again Take it away Bill[00:01:04]
He could be that boy again[00:01:28]
Another day another gin[00:01:38]
His kids don't even notice him[00:01:40]
Something different about his face[00:01:42]
His happy smile seems out of place[00:01:45]
Family gathered round for tea[00:01:47]
Eyes fixed on the new telly[00:01:49]
A news flash came then it said Bill McCai was just found dead[00:01:52]
No more windows no more trains[00:01:57]
Hung himself out in the rain[00:01:59]
Now he'll never be that boy again[00:02:02]
And we say Bye bye Bill McCai Bye bye Bill McCai Bye bye Bill McCai[00:02:07]
