Lyrics The Boy Who Ran Away - (Riton Re-Dub) - Mystery Jets

There was a boy who ran away
From what, he didn′t know
Whom, he wouldn't say
He just had to go
Something, it snapped inside of him
As he fled from a nameless threat
Crowds of people stand aloof in Waterloo
There′s no sunset, sunset
And when he gets to this mythic place
The streets are dirty, dark and deep
There is no rest
There is no place to lay a head to sleep, to sleep, to sleep, to sleep
There was a boy who ran away
From what, he didn't know
Whom, he wouldn't say
He just had to go
Go!
La-la-lo-la-lo
La-la-lo-la-lo
(La-la-lo)
I went to so much trouble to banish you from my sight
He said that you′re an accident
An accident about which I should forget, forget
And now that the wheel has gone around
He′s back where he belongs
And he knows there is no hope
Only solace, in the words of this song
Solace, in the words of this song
Solace, in the words of this song
(La-la-lo-la-lo) (La-la-lo-la-lo)
Solace, in the words of this song
(La-la-lo)
Solace, in the words of this song
(La-la-lo)
Solace, solace
(In the words)
There was a boy who ran away
From what, he didn't know
Whom, he wouldn′t say
He just
He had to go
