Ulysses (DE) - Vagabond Child lyrics

He had hidden so much within his heart yes, so much behind a smiling exterior the other kids never knew they didn't have to his mummy loved him she said so, most nights before she put to bed. He left her home to walk the streets he saw the who*es and all the thieves he saw the d**h in the gutters and streets it showed him his way. He fought with dogs an slept with rats the only friends he had in this world he sold his arse to pump his veins the only way. Memories they took him back but he could drag himself away he found a home, and family and friends they showed the way. They don't want me, I don't want me thought it would come so easily it was never you, 'twas me. Hello mum, thanks for living and giving me this chance of life but I've got my own ideas you got to let me live my life the best way I know how. Hello mum, thanks for giving and I must thank my dead father, too this troubled child never knew what life was until it had him down and kicked him in the teeth. In the parks I saw the children play it brought a smile, but so many tears I turned away but it wouldn't stop I saw your smile and felt all my fears oh my mama you gave me this sweet life' you gave me a smile but so many tears I turned away but that was not enough it's all too much for me
