Beautiful Boy

1 ContributorBeautiful Boy Lyrics

[Verse 2]
One day I had enough of gobbling down poison in cheap hotel rooms
The less needed, the better felt
Scars from pissed-up fights outside the chippy with old prizefighters
Who went home to houses and wives and kids and gravy and paisley smoking jackets
Not dimly lit flats with matching eyes
I try to notice the little things
Cup of tea with two sugars
Barking dogs, car horns
The sound of rain on a window
The feeling of rain on skin
A storm of freshly cut grass
Loud sneezes, hot dogs with ketchup and mustard
Sun cream, ice cream, squirty cream
Beauty spots, different coloured lipsticks
Peaches, running, films with Matt Damon in them
Trips to the supermarket
Trips to the car wash
Girls in high heels, the arcades
Photographs, Indiana Jones
Old girlfriends, new girlfriends
Friends, family

[Pre-Chorus]
I called me old man
He said
He said, "Hey son, how's my beautiful boy?
I woulda called but I know what you're like
And how it gets you annoyed"
I said, "Hey Dad, I was speaking to Jack
But now I'm good, yeah, I'm four weeks in
And I ain't looking back"

[Chorus]
Bad blood, twisted mind
Doesn't matter, you're still my
Beautiful boy
It's hard to find words to say
How I feel will never change
Beautiful boy
Bad blood, twisted mind
Doesn't matter, you're still my
Beautiful boy
It's hard to find words to say
How I feel will never change
Beautiful boy

[Outro]
My beautiful boy
My beautiful boy
My, my, my
My beautiful boy
