Tones and I - The Kids Are Coming

Jimmy

Jimmy used to run through the streets at night
To escape from all the fighting
He was always told that he wasn't right
So he just kept on writing
Writing to a dad that he wished he'd had
That he didn't know he needed
He said, we should run away but today we'll stay
And I haven't seen him since that day now I got

Jimmy on my mind felt like yesterday
But I don't see him anymore, anymore
Jimmy he got tired so he couldn't stay
Now I don't see him anymore, anymore
Nah, nah, no, no
I don't see him anymore
Nah, nah, nah, ah

Jimmy would come over after school sometimes
And we'd dance around the garden
He would never talk but when he would try
It would never come out right, and
One day he had to go when his mum called him home
And he looked at me and smiled and he said
We should run away but today we'll stay
And I haven't seen him since that day
Now I got

Jimmy on my mind felt like yesterday
But I don't see him anymore, anymore
Jimmy he got tired so he couldn't stay
Now I don't see him anymore, now I got
Jimmy on my mind feels like yesterday
But I don't see him anymore, anymore
Jimmy he got tired but he couldn't stay
Now I don't see him anymore, anymore
Nah, nah, no, no
I don't see him anymore
Nah, nah, nah, ah

And I pictured you back in the day when we were nine
We said that someday we would leave this all behind
And I pictured you back in the day when we were nine
We said that someday we would leave this all behind
Now I got

Jimmy on my mind felt like yesterday
But I don't see him anymore, anymore
Jimmy he got tired so he couldn't stay
Now I don't see him anymore, now I got
Jimmy on my mind feels like yesterday
But I don't see him anymore, anymore
Jimmy he got tired but he couldn't stay
Now I don't see him anymore, anymore

Nah, nah, no, no
I don't see him anymore
Nah, nah, nah, nah, ah
I don't see him anymore
Nah, nah, nah, ah
I don't see him anymore
Nah, nah, nah, ah
