I am just a small town boy

But don't hold that against me

Mum's a lawyer, Dad's got a bank

But really I'm OK

Should I stop or should I go

I'm full of indecision

I'd throw it away for a dollar a day

If I could be like...

You made me promise not to mention

You can call round any time of day and see

Me and my family



These things are sent to try us

Or to land us in hot water

Turning grey as my Tube record plays

When I call you, come as you are

You don't need fancy cars or finery

You don't need a credit card to buy me



They'll never understand I bite the hand that's feeding me

Saying I must be mad--that's a matter of opinion



You, I'll give you all of my affection

You and I can celebrate defection



Get up and go tonight, I've seen the light that's leading me

Saying that I'll be back well that's a matter of opinion



We'll work we don't care how long it takes us

We'll save we'll buy that house on the hill some day

Never thought I'd be the black sheep of the family

Never thought I'd be the black sheep of the family



Control me, console me, conceive me, consume me

We all need some space

Just a little room to breathe

My girl friend sees me

I know that I couldn't do it alone

We will shine for you

Come and share the atmosphere up here, now that we're



Over, over the moon

It feels like we're in Heaven, Heaven

Over, over the moon

It feels like we're in Heaven now

Over, over the moon

It feels like we're in Heaven, Heaven

Over, over the moon

It feels like we're in Heaven now



Never thought I'd be the black sheep of the family
