James - All Good Boys Lyrics

James Lyrics

"All Good Boys"

It's a boy
Man child
A question of genes
Body hair
Deep voice
A handful of dreams

We don't get any older
We're still stuck in school
Never felt much love
Until you came through
Until you came through

All good boys
They follow the father in you
All good boys (they fought for you)
All good boys (they fought for you)

We can't live with one another
Brother killed his long lost brother
We can't live with one another
Brother killed his long lost brother

Little boys in charge
Don't know what to do
What a waste
So close
But sharing's taboo

We don't get any older
We're still stuck in school
We don't get any wiser
I'm still the same old mule
The same old mule

All good boys
They follow the father in you
All good boys (they fought for you)
All good boys (they fought for you)

The river
The river
The river runs through
From father
To son
To tender the brood
[repeat to end]
