Son of a Brick Lyrics by Mikey Powell

Paper Boat

2017

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a story
Full of anguish and woe
Of a hurt we’ve all suffered
Of a pain we all know
Yeah you cannot escape it
Although many have tried
Countless times it has caught me
Countless tears have I cried
And you don’t see it coming
You can’t tell when it’s near
Oh we live in the tension
Oh we live in the fear
[Verse 2]
Well it happened to me
Only two days ago
Though it still hurts to dwell on it
It’s important you know
Woke up in the dead of night
Desperatеly needing a wee
My room as black as death
My eyes thеy could not see
So I crawled out of bed
Put my feet on the floor
And a stabbing pain shot through me
Like I’ve never felt before
[Verse 3]
I stepped on a Lego brick
My foot was in agony
There are no words, well
None that I could say on children’s TV
Plastic teeth bit into me
I tumbled to the ground
And suddenly I realised
It’s the missing piece I’ve found
Do they hibernate in daytime?
Come creeping out at night?
Lay in wait for naked flesh
Out of nothing more than spite?
[Bridge]
(He stepped on a Lego brick, he stepped on a Lego brick)
(He stepped on a Lego brick, he stepped on a Lego brick)
(He stepped on a Lego brick, he stepped on a Lego brick)
[Verse 4]
If this tale has a moral
It can only be this
If you’re walking at night-time
Ignorance is not bliss
So don’t roam in the dark
Don’t walk round at night
Don’t take another step
Without turning on a light
If you watch out for Lego bricks
There’s no need to be scared
I hope that for your sake
You’ll fare better than I fared…
[Outro]
(He stepped on a Lego brick, he stepped on a Lego brick)
(He stepped on a Lego brick, he stepped on a Lego brick)
(He stepped on a Lego brick, he stepped on a Lego brick)
