In Hersham there's a lonely spot Where a boy has been forgot He told his mum and he told his dad Life for him is being bad oh he got what he wanted He's gone now yeah he's gone now
All his life was just a dream Acting out the TV screen Wanted to do what he has seen Playing the part of the final scene Oh he got what he wanted He's gone now yeah he's gone now
Oh Simon don't you cry for him Oh Simon don't you ever give in You knew he was going away It had to happen that way

People used to say he's mad But only his brother knew he was sad Simon used to say to me I hope he gets what he wants to be Oh he got what he wanted He's gone now yeah he's dead now
