Lyrics The Teardrop Explodes

The Teardrop Explodes

Bouncing Babies

I was a bouncing baby

I fell down

I looked around

I didn’t stay too long

And it’s true

It’s true

It’s true

All the things that they tell you

Oh it’s all there

For you to see

And so why is it

All so easy for me

Cos it’s true

It’s true

Oh it’s true

They create things

When they’ve got nothing they can believe in

Believe in

I was a poison child

I was fighting for my life

Clinging to something

Fighting for anything

It’s true

All the things that they tell you

Oh it’s true

All the things that they said that they said

That they tell you

All the things that they tell you

I was a bouncing baby

Now I’m a bouncing bomb

So won’t you come and diffuse me

Before I kill someone
