Two Boys Lyrics



Two boys born the 23rd of May


Brought up in that good old fashioned way





Two boys one of them excelled at ball


The other never played at all

Two boys

- Mama loved them both the same


Papa gave them both his name


Nobody could quite explain just why...





Two boys, growing up in separate beds


Different music in their heads


Two boys growing up and leaving home 


Each an island on his own





Today one's a man who'll never cry


Never has the reason why the other let the girls go by



Two boys...





Mama loved them both the same


Papa gave them both his name


Nobody could quite explain just why...





(At end)
And they let their feelings show


Afraid to let the others know. Two boys...
