BOY (maxit & CO)

[maxit]

First time I did read this lyric from Miachael LeBlanc I immediately tought it was kinda anthem, and just immediately after that I wanted to try some music on it ...
Fortunately my friends below liked it too and turned it to a real song, that you're gonna listen. There are some famous english/irish music quotes here and there (and this is surely somehow related to the 'anthem' nature), but heck, I'll never tell where & I leave it to you to find out ;-)


Marco Descontus - vocals
Franco Pietropaoli - 12 string el. guitar & bass
Max Greco - acoustic guitar

Boy

Picking your nose is not finger food
Son, quit licking the ash tray
Don't bite your toe nails and stop being so rude
My parents would always say

But I'm just a boy, being a boy
Living high in a tree
I torture my sisters, I like to pop blisters
Anywhere I get the urge, I will pee

So mom and dad, please save your breath
Those words, just don't ring true
Maybe someday hopefully far away
I will grow up to be just like you

I like running with scissors fast down the hall
I like not brushing my teeth
won't eat nothing green and I do make prank calls
like to see if cats land on their feet

I like putting snakes in the mail boxes
I like to pretend that I bathe
run around bare footed and cheat at hop scotches
I rarely ever behave

So mom and dad, please save your breath
Those words just don't ring true
Maybe someday hopefully far away
I will grow up to be just like you

I will grow up to be just like ...

It's a song that has the right numbers to be a great ballad.
