Lyrics
Memories of childhood here in my heart
Memories of childhood we?ll never part.
Were you frightened of your Da disappointed by your Ma
Did he hit you on the head, kick you up the stairs to bed - aha, aha
Did you lie there in the night too afraid to light the light
Lying still in case you?d spoil it even though you need the toilet - aha, aha
Memories of childhood here in my heart
Memories of childhood we?ll never part.
There?s a bucket by the door. If you walk across the floor
He might hear your footsteps falling and come hollering and bawling- aha, aha
So you try to hold it in even though your hope is thin
And a voice inside your head says your going to wet the bed- aha,aha
Memories of childhood here in my heart
Memories of childhood we?ll never part.
All night long you will be chokin? on the smell as well as soakin?
And you don?t need any warning there?ll be trouble in the morning- aha,aha
So you set your mind to do it and your courage helps you through it
Tip- toe softly ?cross the floor to the bucket by the door- aha-aha
Memories of childhood here in my heart
Memories of childhood we?ll never part.
Steel your nerve and keep your poise. Try to pee without a noise
Then you scurry back to bed pull the pillow on your head- aha-aha
Listen for the sounds of danger, angry father, ghosts or strangers
No more movement on the stairs dry your eyes and say your prayers- aha-aha
Memories of childhood here in my heart
Memories of childhood we?ll never part.
