about

A song I originally donated to a charity “Tribute to Paul Fox” album, issued to raise money for the Hospice which looked after the Ruts guitarist during his final days.

I’ve touched on the theme of children elsewhere. See “Little Fingers and Toes” on the 2nd Album. Here it’s about how their unconditional love goes when they become teenagers, a necessary process to help parents let go!

lyrics

Julie knows there’s more to life
Than being a mother and a lovely wife
But when she sees him playing on the floor
She knows she doesn’t want any more

She loves her baby cos he’s always there
Little dimples and soft brown hair
Hugs and kisses him all day long
She’s in a dream every day

Sammy knows when he grows tall
He’ll be a big man in a big man’s world
He’ll be a pilot in an aero plane
Or knock down buildings with a ball and chain

He loves his mummy cos she’s always there
Warm and lovely and soft brown hair
Hugs and kisses her all day long
He’s in a dream every day

Yeah they
They’ve got it all
They’ve got it all
Couldn’t want any more

Yeah they
They’ve got it all
They’ve got it all
Got it all that’s for sure

Now that Sammy’s grown big and tall
sixteen and so he knows it all
tells his parents what they should do
But they don’t listen to a word, its true

He loves his mother but she’s always there
Always bugging him about his hair
Always on at him the whole day through
He’s got to get far away

Oh they (Julie knows there’s more to life)
They’ve got it all (Than being a mother and a lovely wife)
They’ve got it all (she knows it)
Couldn’t want any more

Yeah they (Sammy knows when he grows tall)
They’ve got it all (He’ll be a big man in a big man’s world)
They’ve got it all (He knows it)
Got it all that’s for sure
