Darren Hayes - A Hundred Challenging Things A Boy Can Do

This Delicate Thing We've Made albumby Darren HayesIt was a coal town. He spent his whole life in a hole inthe ground smashing pieces of earth.He never really saw the sky.It was a hard life.

She taught herself to readfrom doing crosswords and hiding her accent.She cast her dreams aside.She had a spark in her eye.She never saw...
