Lyrics Boy With A Problem - Jim Capaldi
Capaldi
He
tries
so
hard
to
get
himself
together.
But
he′s
so
weak
he
couldn't
lift
a
feather.
And
it
looks
as
though
it′s
gonna
be
bad
weather,
When
he
comes
down
from
the
clouds.
His
mother
said
how
we
should
stop
his
drinking.
He's
like
a
shell
on
the
verge
of
sinking.
But
she
don't
see
his
pupils
as
they′re
shrinking,
When
he′s
away
in
the
clouds.
Chorus:
He's
just
a
boy
with
a
problem
he
can′t
conceal.
He
thinks
he's
controlling
his
habit.
But
soon
from
this
earth
he
will
leave.
He
used
to
be
a
very
happy
fellow,
And
everything
he
did
was
very
mellow.
But
now
his
skin
is
slowly
turning
yellow,
Looking
just
like
a
bad
dream.
He
used
to
wear
a
melody
so
pretty.
On
a
silver
stair
a
long
way
from
the
city.
But
now
my
heart
is
so
filled
up
with
pity.
What
can
we
do
with
him
now.
Chorus:
He′s
just
a
boy
with
a
problem
he
can't
conceal.
He
thinks
he′s
controlling
his
habit.
But
soon
from
this
earth
he
will
leave.
I'm
gonna
write
a
song
and
send
it
to
him.
And
maybe
he
will
see
just
what
I'm
feelin′.
I′ve
still
got
love
and
hope
and
my
affection,
To
keep
him
from
fading
away.
The
earth
is
pure,
its
veins
are
rivers
of
water.
And
man
should
be
as
a
father
to
a
daughter.
But
he
does
what
he
likes,
because
he
thinks
he's
smarter.
Laughing
while
he
injects
her
with
his
filth.
He′s
just
a
boy
with
a
problem,
lost
out
in
space
Turning
into
a
junkie,
look
at
his
face,
What
a
disgrace.
