martyn joseph - twelve years old كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
twelve years old, no more school
no more desks for me
twelve years old, no more school
a tommy box and a can to carry my tea, i am
twelve years old and i’ll do a man’s job
with a body that’s half of the size
twelve years old, deep down in the dark
there are no books where a coalface lies

[chorus]
all fall down
ring_a_ring_a_ring_a_roses, falling down
and pockets full of stories
when does a boy become a man?
when should a girl become a woman?

[verse 2]
twelve years old and i’m looking out
at a burnt_out car in a field
and my sistеrs they laugh into mobile phones
but to whom it will not bе revealed
and i think of you then so long ago
our teacher told us it was cruel and wrong
but in some ways i would have loved to have been by your side
for at least you knew you belonged
[chorus]
all fall down
ring_a_ring_a_roses, falling down
and pockets full of stories
when does a boy become a man?
when should a girl become a woman?

[verse 3]
with the distant whistle blow of our working pit
i fell asleep just the other night
i thought that i heard a voice crying out to me
that i was not alone in god’s sight
that in one hundred years time and on other lands
there will be children no older than i
bringing up the orphans of parents struck down
still no justice under the sky

[verse 4]
twelve years old, i go to school
and for the house i have my own key
and my mam’s very busy, she just seems to shout
computer screen waits for me
the shift ends and i smile at my dadi
and on his back i will ride home again
twelve years old and their stories get written
’cause too soon they are women and men
[chorus]
all fall down
ring_a_ring_a_ring_a_roses, falling down
pockets full of stories
when does a boy become a man?
when should a girl become a woman?
when does a boy become a man?
when should a girl become a woman?
