Little Boy Intro (Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre)

Alright so for these next couple of songs, the band and I

We're gonna stand up together in front of the stage

And play kind of an acoustic stripped-down version of these songs

And this next song, um, is about when I was a little kid

I was riding my bike in my local area in Melbourne, Australia, mm

And, uh, I was, um, I was riding on the hill, and when I

When I go back now to this suburb and I look at this hill

It is the most gradual incline you've ever seen

It doesn't really qualify as a hill, it's like

I think that's flat, and, like, it's kinda like that

But when I was ten years old, that was the big hill

And I, I was riding my bike and I remember, like something happened

I must have swerved off, hit a rock or something

And I flew over the handlebars, and I remember flying over the handlebars

And I, then knocked myself out

And I was found by a lovely lady who took me to the hospital

And when I got there, I found out I was missing one of my front teeth

And I went to the dentist after and he gave me a replacement tooth

Um, but this, this replacement took was like a triple-XL tooth

Like this tooth was like massive, like, it's, it's too big for adults, um

And so I have this tooth still in my mouth

And I'm 63 and I don't really, I still don't

Haha, yeah, a tall guy, haha

And this tooth still doesn't fit quite right, um

And when I was, uh

I know this is a long story about my tooth, um

So please bear with me, um

It's not, it's, we're getting to the last bit, um

Uh-huh, you know when people say, "Long story short"

It's never when they say, it's never

That's never a short story, um, anyway, but I'm

This tooth, I was at my first nightclub when I was 18 years old

And, um, my friends were pointing at me

And they're like, "Hey mate"

And they're pointing at me

And I was like, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

And they're like, "The big tooth"

And I'm like, "What, what's happening to the big tooth?"
