Many years ago, there was a small boy This little boy had a mother, a father, and two sisters The little boy was told to collect all the tearsw he cried throughout the day And keep them in a bottle he hung around his neck Before he went to sleep every night, his father would say, "Son, have you taken your medicine?" And the little boy would take his bottle, And drink all of the tears he cried throughout the day You might ask Why the little boy had to drink his tears before bedtime? Well, when the little boy was even littler than he is now His mother told him, "If you drink all the tears you cried throughout the day, All the bad things in the world will go away, And you will stay a little boy, Always only to play." All the bad things in the world didn't go away. And day by day he found himslef less able to play. So he sits here Lines on his face With a bottle full of tears Telling his stories For nobody To hear

[MORSE CODE] "So we were sitting down there at the quay...The White Quay We called it that 'cos they always painted over the grafitti. They thought that would stop anyone drawin' all over it. So we were just sittin' there Chuckin' rocks Raisin' on eachother When one rock...must've been posessed with hell...hit a gull We saw it spin Tryin' to find it's course...as I suppose we were At that time The gull's balance was shot And it went careerin' into the Quay We named it "Whirly" 'Cos of the way it fell We took it to the corn field and buried it Made a little wooden head thing And that's when it ended" "What?" "That's when we stopped bein' kids"
