Madness Lyrics for Song: Idiot Child
 Lyrics for Album: The Liberty of Norton Folgate [2009]
 
 
 
 19310>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
