Artist/Band: Madness
Lyrics for Song: Idiot Child
Lyrics for Album: The Liberty of Norton Folgate [2009]



Although he had a past history

The mischief has soon passed

A spunky little kid from North West Five

Longed for the mystery to last



Free as the wind

Wild as a march hare

With oh so much to learn

Careful that you don't get burned



The boy who wouldn't grow up

Chasing his own tail

The boy who couldn't grow up

An outing on bail



Oh idiot child

Clutching to life

Always made to grow up

Always told to shut up

Idiot child

Clutching to life



Always destined to fail

Always ending up in jail



Lo and behold the gherkin men with their military stance did shout

Mark my words Mrs Hutchinson

We'll sort this laddie out

The parent teachers association secretly fixed a date

A giant swoop is authorised to sign and seal his fate

Oh sent away for a year and a day

He was taken so orderly

And drilled into his delicate shell

To behave, normally



Oh idiot child

Clutching to life

(Clutching to life)

The boy who never grew up

Always told to shut up

Idiot child

Clutching onto life

(Clutching to life)

Always destined to fail

Always ending up in jail



Some things are so predictable ain't they

Some things just never change, look around

Most animals, are trained at an early age

But some of us just never lay down



Idiot child

Just clutching to life

The boy who never grew up

Always made to shut up

Idiot child

Clutching to life

(Clutching to life)



Always destined to fail

Always ending up in jail



Idiot child

Clutching to life

(Clutching to life)

The boy who never grew up

Always told to shut up

Idiot child

Clutching onto life

(Clutching to life)



Always destined to fail

Always ending up in jail



Always destined to fail

Always winding up in jail



Always ending up in jail

Always destined to fail
