Boys Own - Alison Moyet

Well how are you?

Can I look a little closer?

Well let me introduce you to

Say how’d you do believer

So tell me is he young enough

Or could it be hung up enough?

And does he help to keep it up

When he’s handing it out, out to please you?

Do you ever sink the night away?

How about the day, ain’t it getting long?

These eggshell hearts you’re tripping on

Oh when you’ve got money you can build a bomb

Oh it’s beautiful, torching up your lonely night

Oh how you shine when you throw all the suckers on

You’re tired of every single one

Oh you’re filthy, filthy, filthy

And someone’s gonna hold you down

You’re gonna be sorry for the way

You whore a life around, yeah

Now tell me is he young enough

Or could it be hung up enough?

Or maybe just be hung enough to keep it up

When you’re flagging?

Do you ever soak the night away?

How about the day, ain’t getting long?

These eggshell hearts you’re tripping on

Oh when you’ve got money you can build a bomb

Oh it’s beautiful, torching up your lonely nights

Oh how you shine when you throw all the suckers on

You’re tired of every single one, yeah

These eggshell hearts you’re tripping on

Oh when you’ve got money you can build a bomb

Oh it’s beautiful, torching up your lonely nights

Oh how you shine when you throw all the suckers on

You’re tired of every single one, yeah
