Hundred Challenging Things A Boy Can Do Lyrics - Darren Hayes

It was a coal town 

He spent his whole life in a hole in the ground 

Smashing the pieces of earth 

He never really saw the sky 

It was a hard life 

But little black rocks make 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 challenging things a boy can do 

And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in 

Than anyone ever should 

And all my sorrow pales 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 

And there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do 

(Hundred challenging, hundred challenging) 

(Hundred challenging things a boy can do) 

And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in 

Than anyone ever should 

All my sorrows pale in to insignificance 

That's why she loves you 

(Hundred challenging, hundred challenging) 

(Hundred challenging things a boy can do) 

Hundred challenging, hundred challenging 

Hundred challenging things a boy can do 

Hundred challenging, hundred challenging 

Hundred challenging things a boy can do 

(Wave goodbye) 

Hundred challenging, hundred challenging 

(Wave goodbye) 

Hundred challenging, say goodbye 

(Wave goodbye) 

Hundred challenging, hundred challenging 

(Wave goodbye) 

Hundred challenging, say goodbye to you
