ted talmeer - SCRATCH BENEATH THE SURFACE

Verse 1
He’s walking home alone again
It’s the second time this week, it’s just been getting him down
Maybe watch TV - on BBC three
Maybe newsround will drown out the sound of silent taunts at school
Cos they see him and they ignore him

CHORUS
Ted Talmeer is coming home
Ted Talmeer is all alone

Heading on down to Stanley Road,
Walking down the Sunnyside,
But wherever he goes, everybody knows
He’s a kid who’s made up his mind

Verse 2
Feeling he’s failed. Leaving the rails.
Finish off that can of coke and see the fountain spray drift
‘Someone rescue me! I’ve just turned fifteen
But it feels like all the weight of this world pressing down on me’
They watch him, no-one helps him

Bridge
The only way to make the pain go away
(Maybe now... listen now... someone please... hear me)
You gotta know it’s not a cry in the dark.
(Maybe now... listen now... someone please...)
This is real. This is me. Love me. Love me. Love me.
