Bill Mccai Lyrics - Singles - The Coral

His family taught him right from wrong 

With local tales and children's songs 

Sunday school was his shelter 

With his friends Joe and Walter 

Now those days seem far away 

An empty swing where he once played 

Now Bill's grown so fat and bald 

He never thought that he'd grow old 

And everyday when he gets the train 

Looks out the window and thinks in vain 

If I could only be that boy again

His sales job it gets him down 

Same old faces same old sounds 

Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs 

Documents in labelled racks 

His wife can't stand the sight of him 

With his routine glass of gin 

She makes his lunch of processed ham 

And waits in for the meter man 

And everyday when he gets the train 

Looks out the window and thinks in vain 

If I could only be that boy again 

Another day another gin 

His kids don't even notice him 

Something different about his face 

His happy smile seems out of place 

His family gathered round for tea 

Eyes fixed on their new telly 

Newsflash came, then it said 

Bill McCai was just found dead 

Photos 

No more windows, no more trains 

Hung himself out in the rain 

Now he'll never be that boy again 

And we say bye-bye Bill McCai
