12'ers

They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
"i'm never coming back"
They heard him cry
And i believe him
Well he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Billy, billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That i can find you
Oh now billy, billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that i can find you, oh no

Searching through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop till they found him
They didn't know him and they didn't understand
They never asked him why
"get out of my way"
They heard him shout
Then a blinding light
Ooh all i could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night

Now billy, billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That i can find you, oh
Now billy, billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that i can find you, oh

Don't give up
Keep running, keep hiding
Don't give up
Billy, if you know you're right
Don't give up
You know that i am on your side
Don't give up
Oh billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life

Now billy, billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That i can find you, oh
Now billy, billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that i can find you, oh

They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
"i'm never coming back"
They heard him cry
And i believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Now billy, billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That i can find you, oh
Now billy, billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that i can find you, oh

Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So i find out what i can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but i feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So i, i don't mind
No i, i don't mind

Seems so long i've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off a light
But i, i don't mind
No i, i don't mind
Oh i, i don't mind
No i, i don't mind

So take, take me home
Cos i don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos i don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos i don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Cos i've been a prisoner all my life
And i can say to you

Take that look of worry, mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that i listen
Oh but i know who they are
And i, i don't mind
No i, i don't mind
Oh i, i don't mind
No i, i don't mind

So take, take me home
Cos i don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos i don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos i don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Well i've been a prisoner all my life
And i can say to you

But i don't remember
Take, take me home...

I know she says she wants me
I hear it every day
And i know she know it keeps me
Well there ain't no other way
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when i tell her that she'll miss me when i'm gone

She says
Who said i would
She knows it ain't easy for a simple boy like me
She fills me full of loving
Oh then she sets me free
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when i tell her that she'll miss me when i'm gone

She says
Who said i would, tell me, who said i would
Who said i would, who said i would

I'm not the only one but i do fine
I suit her purpose and i'm just her kind
I don't own her and i never could
Don't think i do, don't think i should

Tell me
Who said i would, who said i would

But she's got a heart must be made of stone
And when i tell her that she'll miss me when i'm gone

You're not the only one but you do fine
You suit my purpose and you're just my kind
I don't own me and you never could
Don't think you do, don't think you should

Who said i would (who said i would)
Now she knows when she calls me
I'll come running every time
And she knows she gets me hot
But she don't know it's her body never mine

And she's got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when i tell her that she'll miss me when i'm gone
She says
Who said i would, tell me, who said i would
Who said i would, who said i would
