Childhood - The Chameleons

I saw innocent kids turn cruel

In the playground at school

Poor Claudius played the fool

Survival is cool

One for the space to prowl as you please

Two for the pulpit down on your knees

We’ve hanged our hearts to shame

And no one’s to blame

Hey, everything was clearer than today

Oh, you have to hang on to your childhood

O-o-open your eyes or stay as you are my friend

You have to hang on, hang on

Hang on

My life is a Milbury’s home

On Hereford Way

My life is a Barclays' loan now

And a mortgage to pay

Let’s drink to freedom and family ties

Here’s to the bags that are under my eyes

We’ve opened our eyes to pride

With nothing inside

Hey, everything was clearer than today

You have to hang on to your childhood

Open your eyes or stay as you are my friend

You have to hold on, hold on

La-la-la-la

La la la

How have you been, I hope you go far

Together we’ll stand and prop up the bar

I’m watching you now cleaning your car

Open your eyes or stay as you are

Open your eyes or stay as you are

You have to hold on to your childhood

Ya-ya-you have to hold on to your childhood

Bop-ba-da-de-bom-bom

Bop-ba-da-de-bom-bom

Bop-ba-da-de-bom-bom

Bop-ba-da-de-bom-bom

Hang on, hang on with just a little more heart now

With just a little more

Come on, a-just a little more heart now

Just a little bit

Come on, with just a little more heart now

Heart, heart, now, now (Just a little bit)

Come on, come on, just a little more heart now

Just a little bit

Come on, come on (just a little more heart now)

Come on, come on (Just a little bit)

Come on

I hope you are very happy

Hope you’re very happy

Hope you’re very happy

Hope you’re very, very, very, very, very, very, very happy

(Come on, with just a little more heart now)

(Just a little bit)

(Come on, hang on)
