Just A Boy Lyrics
I bit my tongue in the arc of conversation
I don't know why, I don't know why
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions
I don't know why, I don't know why
Do you believe that there's treasures in the ocean?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
One kiss from you and I'd drunk up all your potion
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl, you make me want to feel
The things I've never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You hold me to that
No lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing
I don't know why, I don't know why
You took me in gave me something to believe in
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl, you make me want to feel
Things I never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You can hold me to that
Girl, you make me want to feel
Things I've never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You can hold me to that
I don't know why, I don't know why
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions
I don't know why, I don't know why
Did I say I'm just a boy?
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl, you make me want to feel
The things I've never felt before
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You hold me to that
I don't know why, I don't know why
You took me in gave me something to believe in
That big old smile is all you wore
Things I never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You can hold me to that
Things I've never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You can hold me to that

Man.. i have a genuine crush on my prof. And i told her about this song, and then realized the subtext there. So now i gaze out the window and just reminisce of how i've fallen for her notions. i dont really know why but she makes me want to feel like there are all these treasures in the ocean, if only we'd search for them you know. And yep she is a Woman, and i am just a boy..... You can hold me to that.
That was the gayest thing I've ever read.

No way, I get it - right on dude I know that feeling

This reminds me of infatutaion from a guy who's fallen for a girl. But there is something really sweet and innocent about it.
Angus and Julia played this song at Woodford 07/08 Before playing the song, Angus introduced it and said it's about a girl he met at a music festival. I can relate to that, I also became really infatuated with a girl from a music festival (Woodford Folk Festival). This song makes perfect sense for the situation I was in. Something about music festivals that draws you to wonderful people
Did Angus ever mention exactly when he met this girl (or woman)?
It just occurred to me that maybe he lost his virginity to her.
Anyone?
I always thought the first line was "I bit my tongue in the arch of conversation", are these the set lyrics from a song book or something?
you guys pretty much got it. this song is amazing and if it goes mainstream i think i might have to choke someone. they need to come to the US, even though this place is pretty lame. they could spice it up.
i'm loving that harmonica part.
When was the last time you heard a happier song to lift your spirits? Bravo!!
i heard angus doing an interview on JJJ ages ago this song is about a girl he met at a gig and she had him like straight away but it was like a one day thing and never eventuated into anything more it was just an infatuation
I think this is about an infatuation. It's fairly obvious. But I also think the main crux of the song is the title, "Just a Boy". As if being a boy, he can't but being infatuated. "You can hold me to that": his feelings won't last and are unreliable, but he's just a boy and what he's feeling now for her he can't help; he's totally sucked in.
Also, just a boy suggests he's still young and still learning.
I love this song. I especially love this duo. Stumbled upon them over a year ago and there's little they've put out that I don't adore. To me, this song is about a man (not someone young as you suggest) who may be emotionally young. He may fear relationships, and he wants her to know he loves her yet he's frightened. Perhaps he's never had a relationship (she may be his first) or perhaps he's been burned before and he's very cautious. But who knows. It's just a really good track.
