Spoiling Ivan

[00:05.98] I'm sitting in a park
[00:09.52] Drinking some tins
[00:11.52] Smoking half a cigarette
[00:13.83] I found in a bin
[00:15.18] I see a little boy
[00:17.23] He jumps off the swings
[00:18.90] He hits a load o' nettles and they're stingin' his shins
[00:23.32] He's crying for his mother but she isn't around
[00:27.13] He's sittin' on the ground making waa waa sounds
[00:31.58] I run over to help him
[00:33.77] Sit him up on my lap
[00:35.75] I make a funny face
[00:37.79] He starts to laugh
[00:40.03] He says his name is Ivan
[00:41.47] I bought him some sweets
[00:43.26] I take him by the hand as we walk the streets
[00:47.05] I got him a ball o [?] cos he's my favourite boy
[00:50.43] I made him promise we'd be friends til the day he dies
[00:55.25] Knock knock
[00:56.84] Who's there?
[00:57.60] It's my little teddy bear!
[00:59.56] Spoiling Ivan
[01:00.87] Spoiling Ivan
[01:02.71] Ding dong
[01:04.78] Guess who?
[01:05.76] It's my little kangaroo!
[01:07.11] Spoiling Ivan
[01:09.53] Spoiling Ivan
[01:12.51] Never known a boy like you before
[01:18.47] He's good at darts and hugging
[01:22.19] And doing what he's told
[01:23.99] I'd love to get him drunk but Ivan's only six years old
[01:27.79] I showed him my big muscles
[01:29.62] He thinks they're really cool
[01:31.53] He says he wants a snake for christmas
[01:34.18] So I bought him two
[01:35.75] And when his folks are sleeping
[01:37.74] I call around to play
[01:39.60] We rob his parents heroin
[01:41.69] And throw it all away
[01:43.52] We put on rollerblades
[01:45.38] And skate around all day
[01:48.15] With bellies full of stinky buds
[01:49.62] And fizzy lemonade
[01:51.41] Knock knock
[01:52.42] Who's there?
[01:53.79] It's my little teddy bear!
[01:55.77] Spoiling Ivan
[01:57.25] Spoiling Ivan
[01:59.44] Ding dong
[02:00.41] Guess who?
[02:01.95] It's my little kangaroo
[02:03.80] Spoiling Ivan
[02:05.28] Spoiling Ivan
[02:07.96] And then one summers day
[02:09.78] I called around to play
[02:12.04] But all the stuff was gone
[02:13.28] And Ivan must have moved away
[02:15.92] I couldnt take the pain
[02:17.75] I took a midnight train
[02:19.66] I opened up a little bistro
[02:22.11] In the south of spain
[02:23.55] And twenty years went by
[02:25.95] My heart began to mend
[02:27.83] I learnt to live my life alone
[02:29.69] Without him as a friend
[02:31.64] One day when I was working
[02:34.09] A- sweeping up the floor
[02:35.92] I heard a voice that brought me back
[02:37.74] Bout twenty years or more
[02:39.68] I dropped the broom and pan
[02:41.65] Across the room I ran
[02:43.93] And it was Ivan who'd grown up to be
[02:46.63] A lovely man
[02:47.78] I said can you imagine
[02:49.65] The fun we're going to have
[02:51.65] With nothing else to do but hang around
[02:54.17] And have a laugh
[02:55.82] He says he's much too busy
[02:57.61] To join in with my fun
[02:59.61] But maybe I can introduce you to my little son
[03:03.34] He looks a good bit like him
[03:05.86] And boy they act the same
[03:07.72] He throws me up a hug by me
[03:10.12] Says Nigel is my name
[03:12.03] I take him by the hand
[03:13.81] And then we walk away
[03:15.77] I made him promise we'd be friends until his dying day
[03:19.52] Knock knock
[03:20.93] Guess who?
[03:21.93] It's not Ivan but he'll do!
[03:23.78] Spoiling Nigel
[03:25.15] Spoiling Nigel
[03:26.99] Ding dong
[03:28.54] Who's there?
[03:29.49] Someone else who really cares
[03:31.47] Spoiling Nigel
[03:33.38] Spoiling Nigel
[03:36.18] Used to know a boy like you before
[03:41.95]
