Real Boy - Music & Lyrics: Alexander James Adams

What is this casing I'm in?
Pinewood and wire so thin?
Though I've been carved by a knife,
Something has given me life!

There are no strings now to make,
Every movement I take-
No other's will to employ,
I'm not just somebody's toy-
I am gonna grow up and become a Real Boy!

But I must follow this rule,
I have to go straight to school-
I don't feel I should go,
There's so much more I could know!

There's a great big wide world and it's waiting for me,
I will handle it fine, just you wait and you'll see-
I will do as want, 'cause I'm finally free!

What is this voice in my ear?
Bugging me loudly and clear?
Telling me what I should do?
And claims its wisdom is true?

But I won't listen today,
I'd rather go off and play-
They say I'm just the right age,
To make a hit on the stage!

But that didn't do well after opening night,
I was thrown in a cage and was locked up real tight,
Should have followed that bug 'cause I knew it was right!

A fire burned down the place,
Now I've fallen from grace-
But I've a new friend today,
He said he'll show me the way-

An island only for boys,
Filled up with candy and toys-
With smokes and beer in a glass,
Where you act really crass!
And then find you are turning into a dumb a..........
donkey

Within this dark evening gloam,
I think I'd better go home-
But now there's nobody here,
It's just that bug in my ear.

They say Papa went to sea,
Said he's looking for me-
They tell a dark scary tale,
That he was ate by a whale!

Now the whole world will know that I am to blame!
And my father's demise will now bear my name!
I'm the boy with no heart, or a soul then to claim!

Somehow, I am going to make this right,
I got nuthin' to lose unless I don't fight
So I'll swim out to sea, and I'll find him tonight!

I don't care if I'm drowned in the deep blue sea,
There was something I learned when I finally got free,
That a father's real love's more important than me-

What is this casing I'm in?
Is this my body and skin?
I have this feeling of joy-
I am no longer a toy!
I have finally done right, and become a Real Boy!
