lyrics

No one else wanted the sky so he took it
He put it in his bag with his stolen sickness record
And a bottle of water

No one else wanted the day so he hid it
Behind a sofa that was rammed
Upside down next to the garages

No one else wanted to breathe
So he did it on their behalf
He told everyone he that could breathe underwater

I lost an eye in Wonder Street air rifle incident
It wasn’t really meant for me
It was an accident
(Wonder St is nowhere special
It merely links one road with another)

No one else wanted to play
So he drew them
He cut out the drawings
And he made them all perform in his sad play

No one else wanted to cry
So he built a tower out of rubbish
And he climbed it
And he cried for (and over) them

No one else wanted to dance
So he went as far away as he could
He danced alone down Wonder St

I lost an eye in Wonder Street air rifle incident
It wasn’t really meant for me
It was an accident
(Wonder St is nowhere special
It merely links one road with another)

And he could jump two buses from a standing start
Or a bus and three taxis
(A bus and three, a bus and three, a bus and three)
And he was magnetic when he wanted to be
He did funny things with cutlery
(With your cutlery, with your cutlery)
And he could jump two buses from a standing start
Or a bus and three taxis
(A bus and three, a bus and three, a bus and three)
And when he held your hand it was comforting
Wasn’t weird at all
Hardly at all
Hardly at all
Hardly at all
Hardly
