Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid Lyrics
Cause I'd tear out the pages
That I've got in these books
Just to find you some words
Just to get some reward
And I'll show you all the photographs
And I'll play you old 45's
That now mean nothing to me
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Now I've stood on your shadow
And I've watched it grow
And it's shaken and it's driven me
And let me know
Let me know let me know let me know
About all the old 45s
And the paperback rooms
And it's scattered all the photographs
Of summers and suns
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
I'll do what I should have did
'Cause you're a real
Gone
Kid
I cried and I craved
Hoped and I saved
And I put away those souvenirs souvenirs souvenirs
Cried and I craved
Hoped and I saved
And I put away those souvenirs souvenirs souvenirs
You're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
I'll do what I should have did
'Cause you're a real
Gone
Kid
'Cause you're a real
Gone
Kid
You're a real
Gone
Kid
You're a real
Gone
Kid

Oohh oohh shout!I'm 68 now and still love dancing to it.Reminds me of my friend Jenny from Kirkcaldy in 1988..we smashed it dancing to this😁👍🏻
Love it Linda ❤
Best band the 80s produced.....Best song from the 80s........Best video of the 80s.......Wonderful stuff
I had an enormous crush on this beautiful lady...
She's still gorgeous.
Me too. Still do.
This is real music. Songs like this can teleport you back in time and make you remember good times. Somehow i don't think today's shit music will be taking anybody back anywhere.
Danceeeeee
So I realise what these top chefs mean when they say there looking for that WOW factor,something a bit special this group would be it. They've just got it.
Love this tune both have great voices and it’s makes me want to dance every time I hear it.
Me too!!!
How the hell could you dislike this video ffs 🤨
K N Agreed
Chloe X shocking isn’t it 🤨 doesn’t matter what type of music you like.... this song has everything 👍
K N it really is, it’s just so amazing I don’t know how to describe it
There's this hairy Chinese kid...
ill do what i should have did ??? isnt it done instead of did ?
If you like this you'll love Prefab Sprout.
When music was music!!!
Still fills the dancefloor anytime its played great song and grouo
Someone mentioned 'real gone' and I had a flashback, so here I am : ) oh wa oh wa ... real gone kid
Love it!!!!
Yet all of them I met had actually lived in bloody houses too xxx
A lot of travellers would bitch at me cause I lived in a house and educated myself xxx
Saw these in Cardiff as back up band to Simple Minds. They were simply better.
Love it ❤️
D. J played this at a party on Friday. I was a real gone kid. Amazing song bring it all back!!!!
Lorraine's voice compliments Ricky's voice perfectly...what an amazing voice love this track
One of the best background singers
And still going strong... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9JmILWh5i8
It were probably drew xxx
I was in the ambulance training mobile wiv GRAEME, a nice guy took me back to me dad Paul ELLIOTT xxx
One of the great tunes of the 80's, still listening in 2019!
100% Andrew
Totally agree the energy is brilliant you just don't see that anymore
Shit happens ............... they don't make em like this any more!
Rest in peace Graeme Kelling
Why? How? Did I miss this great band in my late teens/early 20's? Back when MTV & VH1 still played music videos.....How did this band NOT break into heavy rotation in the USA? Did they tour here? They're 100% 80's/90's Video/MTV friendly in music & looks (sadly necessary) & definitely deserved a huge push radio & video rotation @ the time. I'm very happy to have found this gem 3 years back & they fit in perfectly w/the UK beat/music of the time WITHOUT sounding too much like another SA&W Hit factory pure Midi layered/over produced band from the early days of synth music. Definitely a breath of fresh air & I'm glad to see @ least the UK & Scotland still appreciate them!! 👍
Living under a rock... Not Ayers rock for sure .. but one! welcome back to the greats
I never knew zack efron had a band
I remember humming this song to myself as I went on my paper delivery run when I as 13.
Thanks Matt smith!
Lorraine mc McIntosh is gorgeous
2019 anyone ???
@Michael Parks ooohhh wow, awesome🥰. Wish I would have benn there...!
i am. one of my all time favourites. best heard with the volume cranked RIGHT UP....
It is, indeed. Why do you ask ?
Yes, and I'll still be watching in 2020 😊
This is what 80s people looked like, they look like an alien race.
Weren't there any orthodontists in Scotland in the 80s?
That gap in his front teeth is very attractive.
@fishbelch I'll have to take your word for it. I suppose if John Legend can be considered the "Sexiest Man Alive," anything is possible.
WHAT A COMPLETE RENT boy that singer is
Lorraine McIntosh was a babe back in the day. Still is!!!
A by gone age of music 😔
Buena musica lindos recuerdos de juventud
I was 13 44 now and still love this!!
Great song had many good times listening to it
funny memory of this song is when i had a itchy bumhole so i put my finger up there and when i pulled it out there was abit of poo lol
This is a problem I can relate to.
That was a lovely story I hope you washed your finger afterwards
Sending love in 2019
Delicatessen!!!♥♥♥😚😚😚
Is John Deacon playing bass there? xP
i once met the drummer dougie vipond on a farm
I bet ya got me photos off John Perry. Love is the law xxx
Would you like a portrait fire horse?
You are so vain
Once again listening to another class song (80,s) rock
Are the lead singer and female singer together? Or at least were? Or just band mates
Still husband and wife today.
Siempre pensé que esta canción era de Supertramp
Heard this song from the movie Under The Skin.
The lead singer looks like an asylum escapee who throws his semen at other people like snowballs
Your comment probably says more about your mentality than his...🤔
@Garry MacKenzie No idea how it does but whatever
EXACTLY‽ 😂😂
@Garry MacKenzie Are you ok?
I wonder what the police keep when they confiscate stuff like titty photos from booths on way to see me new age traveller boyfriend john
Perry in edale. He climbed Everest base camp xxx love always john Perry. You one of the only men I actually did love x
Me mum threw away all our beautiful books. Jesus as a historical figure banksy x
This song is inspired by Maria Mckee
Id marry my love with a blade of grass.
Love is the key. Wheres my love.
Dont tear up books
This used to be on the Boots adverts

One of the best tracks from the band. Always loved this song when they did it live. The place would go crazy!.
What is the meaning of 'Real Gone Kid'? (I'm german :-) ).
'Real gone' means 'cool' or 'hip'. It's an old slang term from the jazz age. 'Kid' is a young person.
Oh my.The memories,of a better time.
Make Dundee great again.
0.27 beautiful....
Just love this song!!
Will ALWAYS love this song. So many memories... Good times that were so less crazy than todays world. Deacon Blue... thank you x
