lyrics

(he noticed)

Ten years of aiming songs at one man in a room
And nobody has ever seen me do it once
Then August, at a wedding, at a table near the front
A boy of nine looked up and worked it out

He noticed (he noticed)
Nine years old and he noticed
Four hundred adults didn't, he noticed
He noticed

He noticed, he noticed, he noticed, he noticed
Said "you looked at Grandad" and I said "I did"
He noticed, he noticed, he noticed, he noticed
Said "why" and I said "he needed it" and he said "okay"

Okay. That's all. Just okay. No follow-up, no fuss.
A grown-up would have wanted the whole story out of me.
He took the answer, filed it, and went back to the cake.

He noticed, he noticed, he noticed, he noticed
Said "you looked at Grandad" and I said "I did"
He noticed, he noticed, he noticed, he noticed
Said "why" and I said "he needed it" and he said "okay"

(okay...)
