Xavier Rudd - Jack lyrics

Jack would stand one Foot in front of the Other foot and then Lick his lips again The train came past about Three o'clock or so His mother told him so All the kids should know His hand was sore from All the gravel rash Would he get it back It looked just like the tracks He must not take his shoes off yet His mother told him this Would there be hope someday Or would his spark slowly fade This the boy who would smile When his heart was in pain And his simple mind Would be settled in grace When he knelt down and spoke To his father in his grave The boys would hide Behind the tea tree The ugly tea tree The f**ing tea tree They'd all jump out and Jack would smile at them And then they'd smirk at him And kick stones at him The first punch came from The big fat one Then all the other ones He wondered what he'd done He'd end up in the little frog pond Beside the railway line And then one day the Big fat one Was drowning in the pond And crying for his mum And jack came down And he pulled him out again And then he put his hands Over his simple head And all the frogs went La de da de da La de da de da
