Toy Collection - Katie Melua

I will not sell my toy collection

If I did I would weep

Who’s to say what you need and what you don’t

On a desert island they’re the things I’ll keep

Some children had their parents read them stories

Well I heard mine directly from the source

Captain Kirk shared his tales and glories

While fighting a deadly force

Who’s to say when you get older

You don’t need a toy collection?

Who’s to say when you get older

That you have to follow convention?

Black beard told me of his troubled mother

And with his songs he’d sing me off to sleep

He said Superman was my real father

And they gave me dreams that I still keep

Who’s to say when you get older

You don’t need a toy collection?

Who’s to say when you get older

That you have to follow convention?

Who’s to say when you get older

You don’t need a toy collection?

Who’s to say when you get older

That you have to follow convention?

That you have to follow convention?
