Peterborough boy well, did he cause the big sensation
Where they'd never seen the likes of him before
And they said 'Come to our parties, be alive to our society's 
ways of being, with rules far-seeing' but he always held the flaw
Uh oh .....

Bearing true to his own self soon ceased to feel so very welcome
In a state you would find anything but free
Tried to put folk at their ease and leave 'em smiling within reason
Nihil winds had blown, love was thrown to the season gone

Break

Running aground again and irretrievably bewildered trying to understand
just what was going wrong
Would it really be delusion to defy all this exclusion ?
Oh the day, rue the day (that) ever I sailed this way.

Peterborough boy, Peterborough boy you go on home now
Delay now no more
