In My Head



CARRY ON TUESDAY

The words on blue are from a song by Amy Winehouse.

IN MY HEAD

In my head I paint a picture of myself as a little child,
Before the drugs and alcohol made my life so bleak and wild.
I can hear my mother say to Dad 'Tammy's such a little pet.
All pink and white and frilly! She'll be a hit, I bet.
She's got such a pretty little voice and delicious little face.
When she grows up she'll be admired for her singing and her grace.
We'll send her to singing lessons, and, maybe, ballet too,
And also deportment classes! Yes! That's what we'll do!
I can see her now up on the stage singing lovely little songs.
Yes, up there in the spotlight! That's where she belongs!'
But drugs and alcohol came along and stole my life away.
In my head I paint a picture of where I could have been today.

THE GOLDEN CASTLE

Frozen in Time
The elemental prancing
Of little children
