Richard belongs to Jayne
And Jayne belongs to yesterday
How can I go on
When every alpha particle hides a neon nucleus
Neil belongs to love
And love belongs to no man
How can he go on
When no one answers the adverts in his mind?

There will be prizes for everyone
And hey, hey, hey, here comes Richard
There will be ladies dressed in lace
I just want to see her face
When hey, hey, hey, here comes Richard

But you won't help me sleep in it
When I fall between you and the wall

Richard my little boy
Bring back the memories
Of how it was
When i was young
Richard my little boy
Bring back the feeling
Of how it was
To sing a new song
I watch an elderly woman on a bench in the park
I see a doll on her lap i can hear her sing out loud
Richard my little boy
Bring back the memories
Of how it was
When i was young
Richard my little friend
Always listen carefully to your heart
In all that you do
Richard my little friend
Take all my words
And build up a world
With letters from them
Years have painted her hair and colored her face
She has lost all her loved ones this park is her
Sacred place
Richard my little friend
Take all my words
And build up a world
