Real Gone Kid

About Real Gone Kid

"Real Gone Kid" is a song by the Scottish rock/pop band Deacon Blue. Released in 1988, it was the first single to come from the band's second album When the World Knows Your Name which was released six months later. The single was the band's first top ten hit, reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart, number 10 in Ireland, and number five in New Zealand. In Spain, the song reached number one for three weeks. Vocalist Ricky Ross wrote the song about a performance he saw of ex-Lone Justice singer Maria McKee on stage (Deacon Blue had toured with Lone Justice for a time as the opening band). The B-sides consist of the song "Little Lincoln" and covers of Sam & Dave's "Born Again" and Hüsker Dü's "It's Not Funny Anymore". more »

And I'd tear out the pages
That I've got in these books
Just to find you some words
Just to get some reward
And I'll show you all the photographs
That I ever got took
And I'll play you old 45s
That now mean nothing to me

[Chorus]
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
Maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
Maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
I'll do what I should have did

Now I've stood on your shadow
And I've watched it grow
And it's shaken and it's driven me
And let me know
About all the old 45s
And the paperback rooms
And it's scattered all the photographs
Of summers and suns

[Chorus]

Cause you're a real gone kid

I cried and I craved
Hoped and I saved
And I put away those souvenirs (souvenirs, souvenirs)
Cried and I craved
Hoped and I saved
And I put away those souvenirs (souvenirs, souvenirs)

[Chorus]

Cause you're a real gone kid
