Mystery Jets - Umbrellahead lyrics

rate me

They say if you leave a horse alone it dies

Nestles into the hay and shuts its eyes

Well I’ve dreamt of being that horse a hundred times

And I end up a pile of bones and a cloud of flies

And when you’re nine years old you don’t care

If your on your own or one of a pair

And when you get salt in your eyes, sand in your hair

Call for mom or daddy they’ll be there

Please don’t turn me into a man

Cos I don’t want to see my skin fold

Oh please wont you keep me as I am

Oh people look so lonely when they’re old, when they’re old

When you come of age it’s not the same

No umbrella over your head when it rains

And your friends would rather get high than play a game

Oh it’s such a shame the way they change

And Emily’s hung over, bill feels rough

Thinks his girlfriend might be up the duff...again

She threw up twice last night on the bus

And I never thought growing old could be so tough

Oh please don’t turn me into a man

Cos I don’t want to see my skin fold

Oh please wont you keep me as I am

Oh people look so lonely when they’re old, when they’re old
