[Verse 1]
Our parents would treat us with carrots and sticks
Just two alco-holics up to their old tricks
C E7 F C
Mum played piano and loved Gracie Fields
She would have been famous but we dragged at her heels
[Verse 2]
Our dad was a big man un-shaven and strong
He loved to hear Gracie as she sang her song
The pub on a Sunday is where she would sing
And we’d play out-side ’til the last bell would ring
[Chorus]
My brother was gifted he had a great voice
F C G C
Not like the other young Battersea Boys
[Verse 3]
He knew every opera and sang in the street
F C D G
With Sally’s Army he’d play tambour-ine
My dad could not take it he called him a poof
For singing Puc-cini so misunder-stood
[Verse 4]
C E7 F C
When he was fourteen my brother was sent
To the Salvation Army to live with his friends
My mum hit the bottle as her son left home
F C G G
Stood in our bedroom and cried all a-lone
[Chorus]
My brother was gifted he had a great voice
F C G C
Not like the other young Battersea Boys
[Bridge]
He studied his music and we kept in touch
We still have that old stream of brotherly love
He sings for his supper, still wants to be
A voice on the big stage with his own CD
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Our parents are long gone cold in the ground
I served time in prison but they weren’t a-round
I love my sweet brother his voice makes me cry
We sing for forgiveness as time passes us by
[Chorus]
My brother was gifted he had a great voice
F C G C
Not like the other young Battersea Boys
My brother was gifted he had a great voice
F C G F
Not like the other young Battersea Boys
[Outro]
