When I was crowned a mummy¹s boy 
by friends I didn¹t like 
I made a meal of trips to school 
upon my fathers bike 
and I used to sit between his legs, 
perched on a piece of wood 
and if it ever rained on us 
I slipped beneath his hood, 
at home the radio was on 
Œwall papered all those years, 
the world was such a simple place 
with music to my ears. 

From Julie Andrews 
to Gerry Garcia 
life was all fun and games 
I was out of my head, 
and underneath my bed 
playing with electric trains. 

I met my friends at Sunday school 
and playing on the field, 
inside my bedroom there I found 
the future was concealed 
my records stacked up in a pile, 
collected from the chart 
with pictures pinned up on the wall 
I found my beating heart, 
and at home the stereo was on 
my feet stomped the floor, 
a Fender willow cricket bat 
had left me wanting more. 

From Julie Andrews 
to Gerry Garcia 
life was all fun and games 
I was out of my head, 
and underneath my bed 
playing with electric trains. 

Kneeling with my torch light 
turning my transformer 
sleeping in my wet dreams 
with my eyeballs stuck in readers wife¹s, 
pubic hairs were proudly 
counted everyday I woke 
manhood took me slowly 
down and down and down...... 

I chased the girls and made them cry 
my hair grew down my back 
the contents of my teenage years 
were spent down in the sack 
and I played guitar and formed a band, 
I pewked up all night long 
as people came to sit and stare 
while I raced through my song, 
at home there was sadly nothing on 
my childhood had to end, 
the Sound of Music passed me by 
just like the Grateful Dead. 

From Julie Andrews 
to Gerry Garcia 
life was all fun and games 
I was out of my head, 
and underneath my bed 
playing with electric trains. 

From Julie Andrews 
to Gerry Garcia 
climbing in that photograph 
I can touch my stupid face 
I chose the road to here and now 
and this very special place 
where all I am is all I breath 
its a sober world I chase 
so I can fix these broken tracks, 
playing with electric trains.
