[Verse 1]
The golden boy in my head
He polishes a medal
With wit and a bit of muscle
He always keeps it level
Got bass tones in the buggy
So he gives a heavy hello
And if he’s 1940’s He whistles through a meadow
He’s pressed upon me
I should
Should have known it
I should

[Chorus]
I should have know it when
I cast that spell as I got my hair cut short
He called me tiger
And he ruffled me for sport
I should have known it when
My brother punched and kicked his earrings off!
Stifled the magpie and has not gone near jewelry seriously since then

[Verse 2]
We make the boy a banner
Heavy so he can carry
Carry but he can’t look up
And ever read the letters
I make my life his double
Try and do what he’s gonna
And if I’m gonna sweat it
I take a glass of water
Are you happy with that?
Happy?
Happy with that?
Happy?

[Chorus]
I should have know it when
I cast that spell as I got my hair cut short
He called me tiger
And he ruffled me for sport
I should have known it when
My brother punched and kicked his earrings off!
Stifled the magpie and has not gone near jewelry seriously since then

[Outro]
Oh to see swathes of them
With not a thing chipped off nothing chipped on
Born in silence, slid easy through an edgeless tube
From the first lips
Then all lips after waiting to be told
