You're a Man Now, Boy lyrics

Still got the same feet and the same hands

That I did when they made me, little man

But now I wear a suit and tie and Ray Bans

And I've swapped the fizzy drinks out for beer cans

I was a Small Soldier and I still am

Can't say what has changed apart from days and

I loved Jurassic Park, well, I still do

Actually, I'm the same except that now I take a pill or two

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

(I'm not growing up, I'm aging)

(My mind's incarcerated)

(Still a boy)

(You're a man now, boy)

(And though this body's taller)

(Sometimes I feel smaller)

(Just a boy)

(You're a man now, boy)

Pain is still a weakness, still afraid of ghosts

Still partial to a Mars Bar and a Sunday roast

Though now I have to think about the water bills

Still feel a pang of guilt about the snails I killed

I smoke too many cigarettes and drink too much

See the news and feel the blues, I'm feeling out of touch

I was an astronaut once upon a time

Now I'm tryna stay grounded, keep some order in my life

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

(I'm not growing up, I'm aging)

(My mind's incarcerated)

(Still a boy)

(You're a man now, boy)

(And though this body's taller)

(Sometimes I feel smaller)

(Just a boy)

(You're a man now, boy)

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

You're a man now, boy

(I'm not growing up, I'm aging)

(My mind's incarcerated)

(Still a boy)

(You're a man now, boy)

(And though this body's taller)

(Sometimes I feel smaller)

(Just a boy)

(You're a man now, boy)

I'm not growing up, I'm aging

My mind's incarcerated

Just a boy
