Lonely Child
Martin Muscatt

He says I take a lot of risks
I live out on the edge
No one ever gave a shit for me
And when it's time for me to burn out
Tell the DJ rock the house
‘Cos that's the way it's meant to be

I said I see where you're coming from
You wanna take control
But how can I help you when the Devil's got your soul
Well I ain't moralising ‘cos that's never been my style
But when I look behind your eyes I can see the lonely child
I can see the lonely child

He says that's the way the dice rolls and I'll take my chances
You'll never see me going straight
I bought my mum some flowers and I paid off all my debts
If I die tomorrow that's my fate

I said twelve years is a long time
What you gonna do with yourself
You got caught at the wrong time
You can't blame nobody else
I ain't critisizing ‘cos I've never been that wild
But when I look behind your eyes I can see the lonely child
I can see the lonely child

I had a suitcase full of banknotes underneath my bed
If I had any sense at all I'd have quit while I was ahead
Maybe I'll do eight years, maybe it's like ten
But I'll just keep on rockin' ‘till they let me out again

Well I ain't analysing ‘cos that's not my state of mind
But when I look behind your eyes I can see the lonely child
Well I ain't analysing ‘cos I've never been that wild
But when I look behind your eyes I can see the lonely child
I can see the lonely child
