Umbrellahead 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
