C majorC                         G+G
When I was young I said this town will live in my dust
  C majorC                          G+G
My father said?“My boy that life's not for the likes of us”
    C majorC                            E minorEm
But?the boys in the streets, in the fast cars, they kept turning heads
   C majorC                          G+G
And I said “Boy, they’re real men, one day I’ll be one of them”

They say you could hear the engine from the mainland
C majorC                             G+G
When I was 10, saw the high street hero speeding round the bend
C majorC                                  E minorEm  C majorC
But those engines got sold when the speed freaks settled down in the sun
C majorC                           G+G
I guess masculinity’s a pursuit left to the embers of you

The only joys of holding on

The vines and leaves all gathering on

The only boy racer left on the island
