Leon Lyrics

[Hook]
I've tried so hard to run, we don't belong here
I'll find you anywhere in broken glass

[Verse 1]
Why am I condemned - because I'm the son of a musician?
Because I don't wash or you think I’m too posh? I'm too heavy
"Where's your daddy?"
Fuck you, Leon, you stole the sunglasses and I got busted
I'm the son of a famous working-class poet, who knows
But mumma's normal, she'll solve the issue
She'll call the police and get off with it
I'll go back to school and everything will be normal
Porridge in the morning and be normal
"I'm afraid we cannot contact your parents"
Ok, sit in this damp cеll and don't you say where fuckin' Leon is
I havе to sit here looking at the lady's cats, fuck that
Daddy lives in St Tropez, what am I gonna say?

[Hook]
I've tried so hard to run, we don't belong here
I'll find you anywhere in broken glass

[Verse 2]
No one's at home, no charges, no sunglasses
No point in keeping me just because my daddy's famous
In Kensington High Street, Leon fucked you
"Who stole the computer game?" I'll get the blame
I'm not normal citizen, always will carry your debt
You think I care?

[Hook]
I've tried so hard to run, we don't belong here
I'll find you anywhere in broken glass

Leon Q&A

What did Baxter Dury say about "Leon"?

Baxter Dury:

A more or less factual account of what happened when Leon—my horrible class mate—and I stole sunglasses from Boots on Kensington High Street in the mid ’80s. The reaction of the police and lack of parenting now seem to shocking since becoming a parent myself.
