Boys Outside - Steve Mason

Who one off did you think you were?

Fifteen years in a prison shut

And I tried to let you down

Never tried to turn it around

And those were the days that no one misses

No postcards sent, signed and sealed with kisses

This is the man who saved your life

He fed, he clothed, he even gave you a wife

Noise outside, boys outside, noise outside

Noise outside, boys outside, noise outside

Now count the stress on just one finger

Sadness, despair or joy, pull the trigger

I thought you were my only friend

That’s not true, I know now at the end

Some darker part will always love you

But don’t send me no note cause I’ll make sure it won’t get through

This is the man who took your life

He never fed, or clothed, he never gave you a wife

Noise outside, boys outside, noise outside

Boys outside, noise outside, boys outside

Noise outside, boys outside, noise outside

Boys outside, noise outside, boys outside

I was with those boys who turned you around

Showed you yourself and then we knocked you down

And if you come outside with us I’ll show you why

Because the things I’ve seen in my life will make you cry

Boys outside, boys outside, boys outside

Boys outside, boys outside, boys outside

Boys outside, boys outside, boys outside

Boys outside, boys outside, boys outside
