When Im Five — текст песни (David Bowie)

When Im five

I will wash my face me hands all by myself

When Im five

I will chew and spit tabacco like my grandfather jones

cause Im only four and five is far away



When Im five

I will read the magazines in mummys drawer

When Im five

I will walk behind the soldiers in the may day parade

cause Im only four and grown-ups walk too fast



Yesterday was horrid day, cause raymond kicked my shin

And mummy says if I am good, shell let me go to school in august

Daddy shouted loud at mummy and I dropped my toast at breakfast

And I laughed when bonzo licked my face, because it tickled

I wonder why my daddy cries and how I wish that I was nearly five



When Im five

I will catch a butterfly and eat it and I wont be sick

When Im five

I will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mum

And Ill let my daddy do the washing-up



If I close one eye, the people on that side cant see me

I get headaches in the morning and I rode on freddies tricycle

And everywhere was funny, when I ran down to the sweetshop

Then I fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me



I saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if hed make me five

I saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if hed make me five

When Im five

When Im five

When Im oah
