Me And My Dinosaurs - Tom Goss

When I was young my mom asked me what I wanted for wallpaper, of course I said dinosaurs. There were lots of cartoon dinosaurs on the border of my room with quotes like "I am a Stegosaurus" and "I love dinosaurs". She even cut out each individual dinosaur (every point and blade) and put them at the floor of my room. It was so cute. When I was a teenager, loud and rowdy, in and out of trouble, she asked me if I wanted to change it. I said no and they stayed.

It's a guest room now and although the border is gone I managed to beg enough to keep the lone dinosaurs on the floor boards. In my mind they are always laughing and dancing, keeping my youth, innocence (and bowl haircut) alive.




Oh Lord - I was just a child and you were mine.
Me and my dinosaurs.

But faith - it's a silly shame. Gets replaced by games.
Rings and soccer goals.

But it's OK. This are meant to be this way.
But it's OK. Our innocence lies in your face.
It's sure to lead us home.

Reality - comes crashing in. Fueled by bitter sins.
Of those who hold us up.

But it's OK. Things are meant to fall this way.
But it's OK. Our innocence lies in your face.
It's sure to lead us home.

Will I ever be the same?
Will I ever touch your face?
As the decades fade to black.
Is my innocence my past?

I refuse - the failings of my past. To learn a jaded laugh.
Like all the other fools.

My truth - lies in my roots. With the silly games.
Me and my dinosaurs.
I still love my dinosaurs.
You can't take my dinosaurs.
They'll take you.

This is the sort of songs that mean a lot for me. Indeed, it's really soft and it's sweetly complemented by Tom's figure. I adore your smile, Tom. You know?, I wish I had somebody like you by my side, with your energy, your peace, your strength. Whenever I'm down, I listen to your songs, man. Some of them are kinda melancholic, yeah, but there's always a touch of hope in the end. I wanted to get one of your records, but you can't in my country! Pity! Anyway, thanks for your awesome voice!

Tom is one sexy man . I love seeing him without his shirt on. The only thing better than that is his music . Some of it makes me smile and proud to be a gay man and some makes be cry and glad that he is a voice for all of us .

This song is so cute :)

I'm not complaining or anything but do you always do shirtless videos? ^^

[tomgossmusic]

@AutumnRainyDays I actually never have. This is the first.

[themonochromeman]

@tomgossmusic I tried, but somehow it didn't work. Anyway, I'll do it again so I have a Christmas gift! Thanks for replying and best of luck for you, Tom!
