Hey Sammy Songtext
von Bella Hardy

Hey Sammy
I saw you kicking the ball round with your friends outside
A ford fiesta bore the brunt of a tussle by the kerbside

Your friend ran into the road
And he was lucky that day, nothing was coming
But Sammy, tell him that he must be more careful
Life′s gone in a second

And I wonder if you know
That they're saying you should go?
They′re saying you should go

Hey Sammy
I saw your mother with the others looking at you down the street
She has the kindest smile you'd even hope to meet
On your way out the door in the morning

And I wish she never knew
What the papers say about you


Do you wish you never knew?
Do you wish you never knew?
What our ignorance has done?
What our carelessness can do?
Well I hope you never know
That they were saying you should go

Five boys playing at fighting
Five boys caught up in a here and now moment
With not a thought spared for what's coming up ahead

I saw you set up a game on the pavement
And call across the street to see who would play
And from my window I saw the border′s kicked away
On a grey afternoon in Glasgow

Do you wish you never knew?
Do you wish you never knew?
What our ignorance has done?
What our carelessness can do?
Well I wish she′d never known
Oh I wish she'd never known
What the papers say about you
How heavy words are lightly thrown
And I hope you never know
That they were saying you should go
