Charlie Brown Says
Ocean Colour Scene · Other Songs - Ocean Colour Scene
No-one promised this when I was a kid
When my days were filled with carousels
Fairground rides and cockleshells
Kicking pebbles on a beach
When time couldn't reach me
And tears were just a memory left to be learned
Now days catch me without an overcoat
Five o'clock shoes full of snow
All rained out, nowhere to go
Memories are sure to find you
No matter how fast you run
Gonna catch up with you
Charlie Brown says
Oh this winter sure sure gets me down
When there ain't no friends around
