First Son

First son has come undone
Hard times for everyone
They wanted him to find it hard
To live without their dreams
Old school, he’s back in town
The factories are closing down
They wanted him to find it hard
To live without their love
He’s grown his own wings and flown
And he says I’m happier on my own
Engines on
Hear them humming like an ancient song
And when I’m driving does it turn you on
Or just the thought we’ll go away?
The thought we’ll go away?
The thought will go away?
First love, he went too far
On Sundays, they’d ditch the car
And climb the hills
And warm their skins
And break each other’s hearts
