CAUGHT IN THE CROWD LYRICS
There was a guy at my school when I was in high school
We'd ride side by side in the morning on our bicycles
Never even spoken or faced each other
But on the last hill we'd race each other
When we reached the racks we'd each go our own way
I wasn't in his classes, I didn't know his name
When we finally got to speak he just stared at his feet
And mumbled a sentence that ended with 'James'
I was young and caught in the crowd
I didn't know then what I know now
I was dumb, and I was proud
And I'm sorry
If I could go back do it again
I'd be someone you could call friend
Please please believe that I'm sorry
Well he was quite a big guy, kinda shy and quiet
When the kids called him weird he didn't try to deny it
Every lunchtime he'd spend walking by himself
Round the boundary of the grounds til he heard the bell
Well one day I found him, joined him on his walk
We were silent for a while until we started to talk
I told him my family were fighting in court
He said his step-dad and him always fought
We talked about music – he was into punk
Told me all the bands that I liked were junk
I said I'd never heard the songs the sex pistols sang
I laughed back at him and then the bell rang
I was young and caught in the crowd
I didn't know then what I know now
I was dumb, and I was proud
And I'm sorry
If I could go back do it again
I'd be someone you could call friend
Please please believe that I'm sorry
It was after school in the afternoon
The corridors were crowded as we came out of the rooms
Three guys I knew pushed him into the cement
Threw away his bag and said he had no friends
He yelled that he did and he looked around
Tried getting up but they pushed him on down
That's when he saw me, called out my name
And I turned my back, and just walked away
hey kate! i adore your music, and i just wanted to let you know that "caught in the crowd" was on 702 ABC radio this afternoon for cryptic crooning. i was excited and kept yelling "that's the best song ever!" in the car. i think you are the most talented singer!
If you're in Melbourne any time soon I think you should go see Wicked (at the Regent) because it is amazing. It closes August 9. Sorry if I bothered you, I just thought you'd be the kind of person to like musical theatre.
Our school production is coming up, for my audition i sung, "I like you better when your not around" one of my favourites! So thanks to you, i got a main part! We are doing 'The Wiz'. Its like a modern version of the wizard of oz. I got my favourite character, The Wicked Witch of the West. Yay! Thanks for the song idea!
