| we were the wild wild child of the street
|
| we rollarskated everywhere
|
| Jason and the Argonauts, with festival hair
|
| we were taught to catch our dreams if you can
|
| and put the babies wellies on and help them in the back of the van
|
| oh and I remember
|
| Sophie dancing round the room
|
| singing 'here it comes,
|
| here it comes,
|
| this is the best bit of the tune'
|
| she waves her fingers in the air
|
| says 'doesn't it make you fizz?'
|
| and I understand that Sophie knows
|
| what magic is
|
| I understand that Sophie knows
|
| what magic is
|
| sometimes I go back in my dreams to Bristol
|
| you can hear Jamaican music and taste the Asian sweets
|
| then to the adventure playground
|
| running through the streets
|
| we were both slow readers
|
| we could make a bow and arrow
|
| from the wood and flint with twine
|
| and we cut the lawn with scissors
|
| made sense at the time
|
| oh and I remember
|
| Sophie dancing round the room
|
| singing 'here it comes,
|
| here it comes,
|
| this is the best bit of the tune'
|
| she waves her fingers in the air
|
| says 'doesn't it make you fizz?;
|
| and I understand that Sophie knows what magic is
|
| I understand that Sophie knows what magic is
|
| so now she pours me a glass of pink wine
|
| she takes the babies wellies off
|
| and whispers to him 'bed time'
|
| when he’s sleeping she hunts through the CD pile
|
| she says 'you've gotta hear this one, gotta hear this one'
|
| she starts to smile
|
| so now I’m watching Sophie dancing round the room
|
| singing here it comes here it comes this is the best bit of the tune
|
| she waves her fingers in the air
|
| 'doesn't it make you fizz?'
|
| understand that Sophie knows what magic is
|
| now I am reminded
|
| what music is
|
| so I get up with her,
|
| dancing round the room
|
| here it comes
|
| here it comes
|
| this is the best bit of the tune
|
| we wave our fingers in the air
|
| 'doesn't it make you fizz'
|
| I understand that Sophie know what magic is
|
| you must understand that Sophie knows what magic is
|
| though I am taller in many ways I’m smaller
|
| then my big sis |
