Idol, Billy - Worlds Forgotten Boy Lyrics






My road is long, it lingers on.
You stare at me and I'm holding on.
My eyes are dim, my breath is weak
and tears stain my cheeks.
Up there so high where the air is so thin,
You look for signs. Am I giving in?
All for me you bring crashing down,
And still you condemn me.
Oh no no shame. All my life I'll not betray.
I'll not shed one tear for all my life,
For ever more, for ever more.

Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
I see ev'rything is broken down.
His heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
We need a miracle joy, we need a miracle boy,
A rock and roll toy, a rock and roll joy,
a rock and roll boy!

Now I know what's up for game.
What's up for grabs, what's down again.
See all for me is crashing down,
The end of ev'rything, ev'ry decent human being.
Oh no no shame. All my life I'll not betray.
I'll shed all my fears all my life,
For ever more, for ever more.

Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
Well, ev'rything will be broke down.
See, his heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
We need a miracle joy, we need a rock and roll boy,
I need a rock and roll joy, a rock and roll toy,
a rock and roll boy!

The road is long and it lingers on.
But my eyes are dim, my breath is weak
And tears stain my filthy cheeks.

Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
I see ev'rything is broken down.
Well my heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
I need a miracle joy, I need a miracle now,
That rock and roll boy!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, I'm hangin' on a miracle tree,
yeah, hangin' like a noose for you and me.
Yeah! Said yeah! Right now!

Idol, Billy Worlds Forgotten Boy Comments
  1. A.... P....

    The story of the song is about his musical heroes, and his own experiences, and how that lifestyle is very intense, and everyone is looking, "staring" at you, at the same time, with great expectations, but also, they want to see your downfall. "His heart is breaking and recorded in sound" meaning, they're living their passion, their dreams, but they are also exposed, vulnerable, and it's recorded, for everyone to consume..., but that's the price you have to pay, if you want to be a miracle joy, a miracle boy..., that rock'n'roll boy! ;)

    Epic solo Steve. I'm 16 again!

    My road is long, it lingers on.
    You stare at me and I'm holding on.
    My eyes are dim, my breath is weak
    And tears stain my cheeks.
    Up there so high where the air is so thin,
    You look for signs. Am I giving in?
    All for me you bring crashing down,
    And still you condemn me.
    Oh no no shame. All my life I'll not betray.
    I'll not shed one tear for all my life,
    For ever more, for ever more.

    Sound towers will crumble down,
    I see everything is broken down.
    His heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
    We need a miracle joy, we need a miracle boy,
    A rock and roll toy, a rock and roll joy,
    A rock and roll boy!

    Now I know what's up for game.
    What's up for grabs, what's down again.
    See all for me is crashing down,
    The end of everything, every decent human being.
    Oh no no shame. All my life I'll not betray.
    I'll shed all my fears all my life,
    For ever more, for ever more.

    Sound towers will crumble down, Yeah
    Well, everything will be broke down.
    See, his heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
    We need a miracle joy, we need a rock and roll boy,
    I need a rock and roll joy, a rock and roll toy,
    A rock and roll boy!

    The road is long and it lingers on.
    But my eyes are dim, my breath is weak
    And tears stain my filthy cheeks.

    Sound towers will crumble down,
    I see everything is broken down.
    Well my heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
    I need a miracle joy, I need a miracle now,
    That rock and roll boy!

    Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, I'm hangin' on a miracle tree,
    Yeah, hangin' like a noose for you and me.
    Yeah! Said yeah! Right now!

    Alli Kuikamoinen great album for your first. Billy idols best in my opinion

    A.... K....

    @Trevor Farrelly Yeah! Great album..👍

  6. S.... ....

    This is my argument for the idea that ALL songs on Billy Idol records are rock solid, not just the hits! Billy's voice and lyrics, Steve's exciting outside-the-box playing and composing, and Keith Forsey's amazing and vibrant production - what a killer team of musical wizards!

  7. M.... 1....

    I'm enamoured with this song

  8. P.... D....

    I need a miracle now...like billy idol showing up at the crib..KOOKOOKACHOO dream on bitches...
