Small town boy
Hands in pockets, walking always walking,
Being a boy. Never expect the few cars
That pass to pull up. Posh folk had cars.
Imagining the future: more than John Lennon,
More than Imagine, more than Working Class
Hero. Happiness awaits under the weekend
Sun. Meanwhile I continuously frown. Sometimes, I could even afford stuff displayed
On market stalls. Look at the girls at the swimming
Baths. See them look at me. Feel the thrill inside.
Count my money slowly
Got to get it right. Most had more than me, naturally.
As the market stalls closed and I looked around
Knew no small town girl'd ever be mine.
So soon, in London Town, fell in love, lost the frown; didn't mess around.
