we were the wild wild child of the street
we rollarskated everywhere
Jason and the Argonauts, with festival hair

we were taught to catch our dreams if you can
and put the babies wellies on and help them in the back
of the van


oh and I remember
Sophie dancing round the room

singing 'here it comes,
here it comes,
this is the best bit of the tune'

she waves her fingers in the air
says 'doesn't it make you fizz?'
and I understand that Sophie knows

what magic is
I understand that Sophie knows
what magic is


sometimes I go back in my dreams to Bristol
you can hear Jamaican music and taste the Asian sweets

then to the adventure playground
running through the streets
we were both slow readers

we could make a bow and arrow
from the wood and flint with twine
and we cut the lawn with scissors

made sense at the time

oh and I remember

Sophie dancing round the room
singing 'here it comes,
here it comes,

this is the best bit of the tune'
says 'doesn't it make you fizz?;
and I understand that Sophie knows what magic is

I understand that Sophie knows what magic is

so now she pours me a glass of pink wine

she takes the babies wellies off
and whispers to him 'bed time'
when he's sleeping she hunts through the CD pile

she says 'you've gotta hear this one, gotta hear this
one'
she starts to smile

so now I'm watching Sophie dancing round the room
singing here it comes here it comes this is the best
bit of the tune

she waves her fingers in the air
'doesn't it make you fizz?'
understand that Sophie knows what magic is


now I am reminded
what music is


so I get up with her,
dancing round the room

here it comes
here it comes
this is the best bit of the tune

we wave our fingers in the air
'doesn't it make you fizz'


I understand that Sophie know what magic is
you must understand that Sophie knows what magic is
though I am taller in many ways I'm smaller

then my big sis
