Act Your Age - Snake River Conspiracy

No-one adores you.

No-one rewards you.

Nobody hears what you say.

Those old faded pictures

of you and your sisters

on the first day of school.

I’ll always play with you.

Nobody loves you

more than they aught to.

Nobody cares what you think.

Still hold those pictures

of you and your sisters.

I’ll always play the fool.

I’ll always play with you.

So an angel has your name.

What a perfect name it is,

and though it’s not the same

the heartache is in all that lives.

Mother adores you.

Mother rewards you.

Kissing you on the cheek.

Those old faded pictures

of you and your sisters

on the first day of school.

I’ll always play with you.

So an angel has your name.

What a perfect name it is,

and though it’s not the same

the heartache is in all that lives.
