    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
    That I ever got took
    And I'll play you old 45s
    That now mean nothing to me
    And you're a real gone kid
    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
    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've saved
    And I put away those souvenirs, souvenirs, souvenirs
    Cried and I craved
    Hoped and I've 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
    'Cause you're a real gone kid
    (Do what I shoulda done)
    'Cause you're a real gone kid
    (Say what I shoulda said)
    You're a real gone kid
    You're a real gone kid

      I'm 40, and sitting in my rainy garden, in England. This song means a million forgotten memories from a long time ago now, knowing people who I can't remember the names of. I am sure your sister was the same...just making her way, and taking it all in...just like we all do. I have a sister, too. She's 39. My little sister. Emma. You have my love, and wishes. Make her happy, and proud as she watches you...which she is. Do what she shoulda did. X

    I literally spent 6 years trying to find this song when I heard the beginning of it on the radio but I had no clue at all except for the first 20 seconds: didn't knew the band, name, lyrics, anything. Then one day I heard just 2 seconds of the first part of the song on the radio and I knew that was the song that I spent so many years looking for and this time I could listen to it completely and get to know all about it. You guys can't imagine how happy I was when I finally found it...

      Similar story for me with 'Life in a Northern Town'. I never knew the bands name until I heard it years later on the car radio and I pulled over to hear the DJ say it was by 'The Dream Academy'. Sometimes a song just hits a nerve and this song did it for me.

    I remember going to Blackpool. And meeting a bunch of guys from Stirling, Scotland. I put Deacon blue wages day on the jukebox. All the Scottish kids started dancing with us. One of the greatest evenings I ever had. That was over 30 years ago. I don't know where those bunch of lads are now. I hope that still alive, married with wonderful kids. And enjoying life.

    Of all the most-celebrated, obvious ’80s pop hits, this one is often sadly overlooked, even though, in my not-so-humble opinion, it’s one of the finest of its era.

    I went from 16 years to 26 years old in the 80s and thought I had heard every song from that decade. I mean I listened to EVERYTHING. Rock, Pop, New Wave, Alternative, Country, and R&B. I MEAN EVERYTHING, but somehow I had never heard this song. Then, about 5 or 6 years ago I was watching a movie and there was a scene where the characters went into the kitchen and there was a little clock radio on the counter playing this song. It caught my ear so I rewound the movie 3 or 4 times to listen and couldn't figure out what it was. So, I Shazam'd it and it has been one of my favorite songs ever since. I only wish I had heard it when it came out so I could have attached it to a memory.
