We Were Children Lyrics

It was a day like today
A Sunday afternoon
When they took you away
Down to Hades in a shopping trolley
With a magazine and a suitcaseThey stole your clothes
I took your watch
I couldn't look you in the eyes
Why is it always those you love the most
You criticise?Say oh no stranger
You're just like me
These things happen
We were children
In the mid-90sSay oh no stranger
You're just like me
We get older
They get younger
It was you or meWe stood there
Throwing ice cream in your hair

Oh I solemnly swear
It's the thing I life I regret the most
Leaving you standing thereAnd if you asked me
I'd pull my eyes out
And when I woke up blind
If you forgave me I would sleep at night
Knowing I've led a good lifeSay oh no stranger
You're just like me
These things happen
We were children
In the mid-90sSay oh no stranger
You're just like me
We get older
They get younger
It was you or meLearning how to keep livingOh no stranger
You're just like me
These things happen
We were children
In the mid-90sSay oh no stranger
You're just like me
We get older
They get younger
It was you or me
