The Boy (Live at Bush Hall) - Black Country, New Road

Chapter I: The Robin

Chapter One...

Robin woke one morning

Broke his fast with a worm

Tried flying on his commute

But he floundered and fell to the ground

Realised that his wings didn't work

Lying down on the ground

Saw the flowers were nice from below

Hedgehog came wandering to him

"You don't look right," Hedgehog said

Picking the dirt off his spines

"I know who will fix this for you

Go and find Mole."

He looked up, saw the boy

Offered the flowers to him

"Keep them for you, you've only got you,"

He said with a bang, he was gone

Who was the boy?

Who was the boy?

Who was the boy?

Chapter II: The Mole

Chapter Two...

Robin spent the morning

Hopping to find Mrs. Mole

Knew that she was struggling to find

The good that a mole could bring

"Who's this smiling boy

Grinding out a meal?

Wished he'd be a good, kind mole

He might want to eat meat."

She looked straight into his eyes

Tears rolling into her ears

Maybe I'm better just being a daughter

Although she couldn't deny wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Chapter III: The Deer

Chapter Three...

Mrs. Mole wiped her tears away

Looked at Robin's broken wings

"What do you expect a mole to fix?

Go and find Deer."

Robin dragged his body

Through the forest ground

Knew that deer lived a solitary life

Couldn't find a print on the ground

Robin sunk down to the earth, and mud pulled him gradually in

"Who am I to think that my selfish genes should keep going on?

Can I be the father

Like I dreamt I might?"

Robin looked up, saw a hoof

Trying to get up to the ground

"Help me Deer, please, help me Deer"

He reached his wings to the Deer

Deer looked down, he liked to be alone (I won't try to–)

With a sigh, he gave him a lift (Fly)

"I knew it was you, I'm glad it was you" (I won't try to–)

He knew from now he'd be alone (Fly)

I won't try to fly

I won't try to fly

(I knew it was you, I hoped it was you) I won't try to–

(From then he knew he was the one) Fly

(I knew it was you, I hoped it was you) I won't try to–

(From then he knew he was the one) Fly

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy

Wanting the boy
