Darren Hayes - Hundred Challenging Things a Boy Can Do 

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.
