Hideaway (Live) [Cologne, E-Werk, Germany - 2005/03/28]

[Verse 1: Andy Bell, (Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes)]

One day the boy decided

To let them know the way he felt inside (The way he felt inside)

He could not stand to hide it

His mother she broke down and cried

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes]

Oh my father, why don't you talk to me now?

Oh my mother, do you still cry yourself to sleep?

Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes)]

Don't be afraid (Be afraid)

You don't have to hide away

[Verse 2: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes]

The boy, he was rejected

By the people that he cared for

It's not what they expected

But he could not keep it secret anymore

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes]

Far from home now

Waiting by the telephone

There's a new world

You can make it on your own

Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes)]

Don't be afraid (Be afraid)

You don't have to hide away, no

[Post-Chorus: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes]

Don't be afraid

Love will mend your broken wing

Time will slip away

Learn to be brave

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes]

Oh my father, why don't you talk to me now?

Oh my mother, do you still cry yourself to sleep?

Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes)]

Don't be afraid (Be afraid)

You don't have to hide away, no

[Post-Chorus: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Ann Marie Gilkes]

Don't be afraid

Love will mend your broken wing

Time will slip away

Learn to be brave
