We Were Children - Tribes

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 suitcase

They 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-90s

Say oh no stranger

You're just like me

We get older

They get younger

It was you or me

We 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 there

And 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 life

Say oh no stranger

You're just like me

These things happen

We were children

In the mid-90s

Say oh no stranger

You're just like me

We get older

They get younger

It was you or me

Learning how to keep living

Oh no stranger

You're just like me

These things happen

We were children

In the mid-90s

Say oh no stranger

You're just like me

We get older

They get younger

It was you or me
