Track 11 from the albumn Hit the Highway.

From birth to five, you're learning

From five to ten, you're playing

By the time you're fifteen

You're never wrong

But then you turn around

And it's all gone, your childhood

Now daddy knows what he's saying

You're in my arms and I'm praying

That I'll be given the strength and time

To make yours just as happy as mine

Your childhood

Every morning

Your crying ends my sleep

I kid on I'm angry

But it's not a feeling I can keep

There's no light outside

I don't care 'cos I know it's true

That in our house

The sun shines out of you

You've got your mother's looks

Your're a beautiful little girl

You'll break boys hearts

All over this world

Then one day you'll walk out the door

And I know you'll break mine

You'll break mine

From birth to five, you're learning

From five to ten, you're playing

By the time you're fifteen you're never wrong

But then you turn around and it's all gone

Your childhood

So you're trying to talk

Any day now you'll walk

You'll be running around

Make me act like a clown

'Cos I live and I breathe

For my little girl

Our little girl

The most important thing is this whole wide world

Now daddy know what he's saying

Your in my arms and I'm praying

That I'll be given the strength an time

To make yours just as happy as mine

Your childhood

Love this song. Makes me think of my new baby daughter. These guys are two of the best song writers around. Cant wait to see them play in Glasgow, 15th Nov. So hope they play this.

@sydneybhoy I agree. I have to defend them constantly. My flatmate calls them "one hit wonders" and screams at me any times I play them. I try to explain that they are fantastic story tellers and write wonderfully but she has no time for it. It's a shame really, they have so much to offer to anyone who looks past 500 miles.
