Caught in the crowd

awww.....
just realised how SAD this song is!! Clare pointed it out to me....
.................................................................
there was a guy at my school when i was in high school
we'd ride side by side each morning on our bicycles
never even spoken or faced wach other
but on the last hill we'd race each other
when we reached the racks we'd each go our own way
i wasn't in his classes, i didn't know his name
when we finally got to speak he just stared at his feet
and mumbled a sentance that ended with 'James"
i was young and caught in the crowd
i didn't know then what i knew now
i was dumb, and i was proud
and i'm sorry
if i could go back do it again
i'd be someone you could call friend
please please beleive that i'm sorry
well he was quite a big guy, kinda shy and quiet
when the kids called him weird he didn't try to deny it
Everylunchtime he'd spend walking by himself
round the boundary of the grounds til he heard the bell
well one day i found him, joined him on his walk
we were silent for a while until we started to talk
i told him my family were fighting in court
he said his step-dad and him always fought
we talked about music he was into punk
told me all the bands that i like were junk
i said i'd never heard the songs the sex pistols sang
i laughed back at him and then the bell rang
i was young and caught in the crowd
i didn't know then what i knew now
i was dumb, and i was proud
and i'm sorry
if i could go back and do it again
i'd be someone you could call friend
please please beleive that i'm sorry
it was after school in teh afternoon
the corridors were crowded as we came out of the rooms
three guys i knew pushed him into the cement
threw his bag away and said he had no friends
he yelled that he did and looked around
tried getting up but they pushed him on down
that's when he saw me, called out my name
and i turned my back, and just walked away
yeah i turned my back and just walked away...
i was young and caught in the crowd
didn't know then what i know now
i was dumb and i was proud
and i'm sorry
if i could go back and do it again
i'd be someone you could call friend
please please beleive that im sorry
please please beleive that im sorry.
