Peter Collard Lyrics - Whitlams

I just remembered a boy i used to know 

he lived down the road at 162 

Lots of rings and funny clothes 

he wasn't one to worry about what other people thought 

Peter Collard where are you now? 

You used to walk past my house every day 

Your head half-shaved from the operation 

the doctor said nobody would notice 

do you remember? 

Throwin' plums on you neighbours lawn 

then runnin' away when we saw their car comin' 

On rocky knob you taught me how to smoke cigarettes 

All these little memories i still haven't forgotten 

Peter Collard where are you now? 

You used to walk past my house every day 

You know i'd still have those penny bungers you gave me 

but the police took them away 

A touch of madness a touch of sadness 

A touch of madness 

You bought flowers for a girl 

and every week you would bring her new ones 

No response would you get from her 

you weren't to know she was allergic to them 

Peter Collard where are you now? 

You used to walk past my house every day 

There's a drawing of you at my parent's home 

i'll have to look for it someday
