lyrics

Remember long hot summer days and sleepless summer nights?
A gap toothed smile, a dirty face and boisterous playground fights.
He just appeared one sunny day, we never questioned why.
Do you remember Romeo McBride?
He lived in a run down caravan on the common ground
No running water in the place, his clothes were hand-me-downs
We caught the same bus to school, he must’ve caught your eye
Do you remember Romeo McBride?
He sat towards the back of class, never taking notes
Took loose change and chocolate from other peoples coats
Even caught red-handed it was something he’d deny
Do you remember Romeo McBride?
Romeo, you’ve stolen what was mine
Romeo, Romeo McBride
While away the summer days, drinking in the park
We’d all go our separate ways sometime after dark
Your route was through the woods, it never crossed my mind
That you were walking with Romeo McBride
Romeo, you’ve stolen what was mine
Romeo, Romeo McBride
2 weeks on the ‘vans were gone with them our new friend
The ponies and the racing dogs never seen again
Looking back, I see it now: the reason that you cried:
Your heart was, and still is, Romeo McBride’s
Romeo, you’ve stolen what was mine
Romeo, Romeo McBride
