Bilingual
Joey was born in '63
The council home in Coventry
Now he's gone
'Cause his life went wrong
His parents divorced in '72
He's only nine
There's not a lot you can do when you're young
And your life goes wrong
Maybe they said he had a difficult childhood
But if they ever said that Joey's no good
They'd be wrong
They'd be so damn wrong
They took him to a place where he didn't belong
He's just an extra mess in someone else's home
He was not strong
But it didn't be long
Bomber men at 9 instead of 3
They found Joey's body in a lavatory
Now he's gone
'Cause his life went wrong
Gone like water through your hands
All of Joey's hopes and plans
Gone like water through your hands
Joey slipped away
An arm full of heroin, a head full of smack
Joey's young body just could not stand that
He wasn't strong
But his life went wrong
Yes, he was strong
And his life went wrong
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
