about

2nd single released 8th Dec 2008.

lyrics

Gordon Richard Storm wished he wasn't born and his family do
His dreams had been and gone straight away
Told by his father on a regular basis he was a mistake
A one off night affair they say
The feelings that were in the air
Were there to see
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Left round his Aunties in the afternoons but he didn't care
The only fun he had in the day
No one in his family took a second look at his sorry face
So he left to roam around the place
Oooh
Gordie told us when he was a boy
That his father knocked him into next week
Leaving for the streets of London
And nobody could tеll his Dad
Dreaming of the woman he was always told was coming homе
But never heard a peep
He needs someone to carry the lantern
To show him that they understand
And teach him about the World around him
The first time it be underhand
Oooooh
Gordie left a letter
Cos he don't know any better on the doorstep concrete
Left next to a missing photo
Of Gordie on a carton of milk
Aaah
Ohhh
This was Gordies final farewell
A tortured soul lays to rest
Aaah
Ohhh
Aaah
Ohhh
