Golden Child Lyrics

Everyone's got secrets they don't want to tell

Let one person know and they'll ring out the bell

The town crier's not alone in the high street

But no one really listens, they believe what they want to believe

Expectations of an angel on a man that's hardly stable

You think he's got it all together somehow

Keeping up appearance gives just enough assurance that he'll be alright

He's the right side of the white line

And now he's tongue-tied, lookin' for a good time

He was a golden child, he never cried

But if they could see him now they wouldn't recognise him

If news got around it'd be a tragedy

It's everything he's not and he never wanted to be

If they saw you now, what would they say

Is this who you are, is this how you spend your days

Confession to a stranger that he's only known an hour, get it together man

There will come a time when you can finally find a higher state of mind

He's the right side of the white line

And now he's tongue-tied, lookin' for a good time

He was a golden child, he never cried

But if they could see him now they wouldn't recognise him

He's no prince and you're no princess

We've all done things that we might regret

But it makes you you, and it makes me me

What happened to the boy that he used to be

He's the right side of the white line

And now he's tongue-tied, lookin' for a good time

He was a golden child, he never cried

But if they could see him now they wouldn't recognise him
