Kevin Browne: Songs

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

We all know Emily
Sits on the front row, so she can see
You could toss her around so easily
But you know it’s unfair
When you’re so small you have to peer around
The higher wall and then you hear the sound
Of the laughter behind as your feet leave the ground
It seems so unfair

But we want you to stay a while
Flash us that perfect smile
And no one has to know you’re much smaller
But we know as time goes by
Wisdom will cast her eye your way and
Then we’ll see your heart’s much larger, larger

She’s got no choice, that’s Emily
Such a small voice, lost on the sea
Like a ship that gets tossed so easily
But you know it’s unfair
When you’re so small you have to catch the eye
Of the people in town or they’ll pass you by
Its seems so unfair

(chorus)
