about

First track on Doug Johnstone's debut solo EP.
About being a parent and all that malarkey.

lyrics

I used to look like you
You used to look like me
When we danced in The Venue all night
We split our first E
And danced to The Prodigy
In some field in Strathclyde Country Park

We can never tell that stuff to him, no
Cos to him we'll always be just mum and dad
But maybe one day he'll be proud of us
Like we are proud of him

He looks a bit like you
He looks a bit like me
But he's got mischief that's all of his own
He knows about the birds
He knows about the bees
But he doesn't know where he comes from

We'll have to tell that stuff to him one day
Cos we're always gonna be his mum and dad
And maybe one day he'll be proud of us
Like we are proud of him

He looks like no one else
He looks just like himself
He's been lost since the day he was born
And all that we can do
Is point his ship the right way
And hope that he keep sit afloat

Maybe we should since this song for him one day
Then we might not seem like just his mum and dad
Then maybe one day he'll be proud of us
Like we are proud of him

He looks a bit like you
He looks a bit like me
But he's got a life that's all of his own
