You’re a Man Now, Boy (Live from the O2)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Still got the same feet and the same hands That I did when they made me, little man But now I wear a suit and tie and Ray Bans And I've swapped the fizzy drinks out for beer cans I was a Small Soldier and I still am Can't say what has changed apart from days and I loved Jurassic Park, well, I still do Actually, I'm the same except that now I take a pill or two [Chorus] (You're a man now, boy) You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy (You're a man now, boy) I'm not growing up, I'm aging My mind's incarcerated Still a boy You're a man now, boy (You're a man now, boy) And though this body's taller Sometimes I feel smaller Just a boy You're a man now, boy [Verse 2] Pain is still a weakness, still afraid of ghosts Still partial to a Mars Bar and a Sunday roast Though now I have to think about the water bills Still feel a pang of guilt about the snails I killed I smoke too many cigarettes and drink too much See the news and feel the blues, I'm feeling out of touch I was an astronaut once upon a time Now I'm tryna stay grounded, keep some order in my life [Chorus] (You're a man now, boy) You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy (You're a man now, boy) I'm not growing up, I'm aging My mind's incarcerated Still a boy You're a man now, boy (You're a man now, boy) And though this body's taller Sometimes I feel smaller Just a boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy You're a man now, boy (You're a man now, boy) I'm not growing up, I'm aging My mind's incarcerated Still a boy You're a man now, boy (You're a man now, boy) And though this body's taller Sometimes I feel smaller Just a boy You're a man now, boy [Outro] I'm not growing up, I'm aging My mind's incarcerated Just a boy
