[00:27.68]I brought you some francs
[00:30.52]From my travelling chest
[00:34.42]You'll spare me the thanks
[00:37.28]'Til you know I'm the best
[00:41.08]So, come Hogmonay
[00:43.80]When love comes in slurs
[00:47.70]Resolutions I'll make
[00:50.56]And you can label them hers
[00:53.43]We threw our hands up high
[00:55.36]We nearly touched the sky
[00:56.22]We clicked our heels and spat and swore we'd never let it die
[01:00.05]All those boy wonders
[01:02.95]Sold their medals when they saw this train
[01:06.78]Now this boy wonders
[01:09.58]When he'll feel the fall of honest rain
[01:13.36]I came from high land where the hopefuls have to hesitate
[01:19.07]Now this boy wonders
[01:22.86]Why the words were never worth the wait
[01:25.62]I'm waiting, waiting
[01:32.71]In pastel paper, pink over grey
[01:34.65]We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away
[01:35.54]The poor excuse they peddle as their prose
[01:46.08]Dry your tears, tie your tongue
[01:48.95]And you're never sixteen
[01:52.79]And I'll give you a glimpse
[01:55.62]Of the hard and the clean
[01:59.48]And my travelling chest
[02:02.23]Will be open to you
[02:06.08]And boy will you learn
[02:08.85]That you haven't a clue
[02:11.63]I even asked my best friend
[02:15.47]But he could not explain
[02:19.27]It hit me when I left him
[02:21.16]I felt the rain and called it genius
[02:24.96]Called it genius
[02:26.86]All those boy wonders
[02:29.66]Sold their medals when they saw this train
[02:32.56]Now this boy wonders
[02:36.32]When he'll feel the fall of honest rain
[02:39.19]I came from high land where the hopefuls have to hesitate
[02:45.83]Now this boy wonders
[02:49.55]Why the words were never worth the wait
