Skull Candy

I could stand here ranting and raving all night
just telling you how is it
you may not sympathise
you may think im a little mad
but i can tell you all this
its all a little bit sad
so please listen up and hear what i say
im gonna tell you about someone
... who is close to me you see
its my first born, my eldest my Liam and me

My son you see he's a specimin unique
A teenager so he rarley speaks
I noticed the rain, it beat down
an he never looked, never made a sound
a grunt, a shrug a head wobble too
look i say listen your never gonna make it through

These teenage years yes i hear you yell
Im all bleedin' ears so come and tell
clutter, spots and greasy hair
Oh for God sake Liam pull up your chair

Look im was once a teenager too
I know its hard I will help you through
some people dont understand when you hit a certain age
they look at you in disgust
sometimes even rage

Your not a yob a scally a theif
your a young lad, kind, caring
In need of life love and relief

I know i nag, i know it too well
my mum did it too me and i cursed her too hell
I listened when it was too late
I close my eyes and remember her face
i want her here now telling me im great

we dont ask you to do much
just show us respect
be yourself in life and listen your hearts gonna shine
your characters gonna glisten

Hormones their great
they bounce everywhere
your bodys upset
you never wanna share
theres destruction and sorrow all around you i see
your a TEENAGER its ok take a look at me

When i look in your eyes i see my baby boy
I remember our early days and see you with all your toys
you've grown up so fast
16 years have flown by
your a decent lad deep down
just maybe a little shy

You dont always say much, but i do know your there
you help me at times
you still cry when your sister tugs your hair
Your sarcasm and wit
mixed with attitude and grit
it hurts me at time seeing you dish up this shit

You ask me for a tenner
you moan about getting up
im "sly" when i've got no money
so why dont you just shut the ..... up

I try my best with you, I'd do anything you know
Im no "meff" "divvy" or "sly"
im your mum hug me please come on dont be shy

You wanna do your own thing
you wanna see your mates
I understand you know
I miss you though
I want you to be 8

Thing is this is new for me aswell
were going through this together
climb from your shell and embrace this world
and see beyond this so called hell

Your focused in life and you know what you want
were here for you Liam side by side all the way
Jessie J, Nicky Minage or whatever your listening too
take off them Skull candy and hear what i say through

Im your mother, your friend, your lifelong buddy
I love you son
so smile
chin up and..........
for Gods sake take off that bleedin' hoody!!!
