Coral - Bill McCai Lyrics
Bill McCaiHis family taught him right from wrongWith local tales and children's songsSunday school was his shelterWith his friends Joe and WalterNow those days seem far awayAn empty swing where he once playedNow Bill's grown so fat and boldHe never thought that he'd grow oldAnd everyday when he gets the trainLooks out the window and thinks in vainIf I could only be that boy againHis sales job it gets him downSame old faces, same old soundsHeart attacks, orthopaedic backsDocuments and labelled racksHis wife can't stand the sight of himWith his routine glass of ginShe makes his lunch of processed hamAnd waits in for the meter manAnd everyday when he gets the trainLooks out the window and thinks in vainIf I could only be that boy againIf he could be that boy againAnother day, another ginHis kids don't even notice himSomething different about his faceHis happy smile seems out of placeHis family gathered round for teaEyes fixed on their new tellyA news flash came, then it saidBill McCai was just found deadNo more windows, no more trainsHung himself out in the rainNow he'll never be that boy againAnd we say...Bye bye Bill McCaiBye bye Bill McCaiBye bye Bill McCai
