The Laissez Fairs - Laughing Boy Lyrics

Flying around in circles
Looking for a place to land
Tired, you need a place to rest

It happened all so quickly
Big mistakes along the way
There's no coming back this time

You had to be someone's laughing boy
Yes, you did, like a little kid
You tried to sing them a happy song
But it all went wrong
So you waved so long

We got to keep your legend
You just had a broken life
So unfair for you to bear

You had to be England's laughing boy
Yes, you did, we love you, Syd
You tried to scream one more final scream
Then you ran away
No more time for play

Pretty Penny has a place that she can call her own
But Pretty Penny just can't face this dark world all alone
