THE WHITLAMS - PETER COLLARD lyrics

rate me

I just remembered a boy I used to know

He lived up the road at 162

Lots of rings and funny clothes

He wasn't one to worry about what other people thought

Peter Collard where are you now?

You used to walk past my house every day

Your head half-shaved from the operation

The doctor said nobody would notice

Do you remember?

Throwin' plums on your neighbour's lawn

Then runnin' away when we saw their car comin'

On Rocky Knob you taught me how

To smoke cigarettes

All these little memories

I still haven't forgotten

Peter Collard where are you now?

You used to walk past my house every day

You know I'd still have those penny bungers

You gave me

But the police took them away

A touch of madness a touch of sadness

A touch of madness

You bought flowers for a girl

And every week you would bring her new ones

No response would you get from her

You weren't to know she was allergic to them

Peter Collard where are you now?

You used to walk past my house everyday

There's a drawing of you at my parent's house

I'll have to look for it someday
