Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross - Hey Craig lyrics

rate me

Had a band once

Bass and drums

I sang and played piano

Craig played guitar

Always knew the tunes

had the records made tapes

kept dates

Never fell over once

Once when we were in the car

Listening back smiling

we felt surrounded by stars

Hey Craig do you still wear your guitar

hanging down about your knees

do you still throw up your window

to let out the old year

I remember once someone letting off fireworks

you out your window

wondering where the war was

bought a jacket scrolled

with Rock and Roll I never wore

you took it everywhere

moved your sister's stuff in a van

your mum drove us home again

Hey Craig the kids are growing up

you can be young again

Hey Craig let's say "the Shields is gallus"

one more time again

Hey Craig we'll stop the car now

and check the trees again

Hey Craig we'll do what we did badly

and do it bad again

bad again

and I'll come back again

bad again

and I'll come back again

put this on an old tape

Lush were still bleeding through

thought you'd understand that

It should have happened on this tape too
