Lyrics Raleigh Ritchie – You’re A Man Now, Boy
Text:
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
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
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
