Iris - Eric

{Intro}
Ra-da-da-da, la-ra-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, la-ra-da-da-da
Ra-da-da-da, la-ra-da-da-da
La-ra-da-da-da, la-ra-da-da-da

{Verse 1}
All of those weekend nights, on reflection
Balding, spectacled, such affection
Concluded, never mind, it's all been busted
I fortunately realized for what I lusted

{Chorus}
Eighteen times in as many days I have
Sat and watched and been so amazed at
Whatever was done by this genius was
More than just entertaining us

{Verse 2}
A midlife crisis for unwanted parents
This father figure is now their replacement
A billion laughter lines turn to worry
A common metamorphosis, for which I'm sorry

{Chorus}
Eighteen times in as many days I have
Sat and watched and been so amazed at
Whatever was done by this genius was
More than just entertaining us

{Verse 3}
Squared eyed youngsters stare at the telly
Smiles disguise the fact they're feeling sleepy
One last loving wink is all they need now
To take them to their secret place where happiness is found

{Chorus}
Eighteen times in as many days I have
Sat and watched and been so amazed at
Whatever was done by this genius was
More than just entertaining us

{Verse 4}
All the things we never said, all the things we haven't done
There'll come a time when we will meet, oh we'll have so much fun
Trouser legs and old brown mac's, boy we'd look a picture
Life can often be so cold, until emotion hits you

{Bridge}
Ra-da-da-da, la-ra-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, la-ra-da-da-da
Ra-da-da-da, la-ra-da-da-da
La-ra-da-da-da, la-ra-da-da-da

{Outro}
Of a thousand images, yours was the sincerest
Of all the childhood superstars, you'll always be the dearest
Such infectious laughter is much to rarer to find now
Find humor in the simplest things like my old friend and how
