Darren Hayes - A Hundred Challenging Things A Boy Can Do lyrics

It was a coal town. He spent his whole life in a hole in

the ground smashing pieces of earth.

He never really saw the sky.

It was a hard life. But little black rocks make the televisions

work and put food on the table.

Until the unions cast him aside.

Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do.

And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in

than anyone ever should.

And all my sorrows pale to insignificance.

That's why I love you.

She was in a strange land. She taught herself to read

from doing crosswords and hiding her accent.

She cast her dreams aside.

She had a spark in her eye.

She never saw her son on his wedding day.

Or our cherry blossoms falling down from the sky

Now there's a hundred challening things a boy can do.

And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in

than anyone ever should.

And all my sorrows pale to insignificance.

That's why I love you.

No coal mines.

No not a trace.

Now shopping malls take their place.

No picket lines.

The sacrifice.

Dreams overrun.

Hopes for a future for her son in Ollerton.

Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do.

And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in

than anyone ever should.

And all my sorrows pale to insignificance.

That's why she loves you.

A hundred challenging things a boy can do.

Wave goodbye.

Wave goodbye

A hundred challenging

Say goodbye to you.
