simon armitage - kid -zk lyrics

kid
batman, big shot, when you gave the order
to grow up, then let me loose to wander
leeward, freely through the wild blue yonder
as you liked to say, or ditched me, rather
in the gutter … well, i turned the corner
now i’ve scorched that ‘he was like a father
to me’ rumour, sacked it, blown the cover
on that ‘he was like an elder brother’
story, let the cat out on that caper
with the married woman, how you took her
downtown on expenses in the motor
holy robin+redbreast+nest+egg+shocker!
holy roll+me+over+in the+clover
i’m not playing ball boy any longer
batman, now i’ve doffed that off+the+shoulder
sherwood+forest+green and scarlet number
for a pair of jeans and crew+neck jumper;
now i’m taller, harder, stronger, older
batman, it makes a marvellous picture:
you without a shadow, stewing over
chicken giblets in the pressure cooker
next to nothing in the walk+in larder
punching the palm of your hand all winter
you baby, now i’m the real boy wonder
