Stories For Boys
U2 · Boy
And I am far away
There's a TV show
And I can grow
Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello
There's a picture book
With colored photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh
Sometimes the lady takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello
Stories for boys...stories for boys
Stories for boys...stories for boys
Stories for boys...
There's a place I go
And it's a part of me
There's a radio
And I will crawl
Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I can't let go
Hello hello
Stories for boys...
