"Poor Boy" was a song written by Tim Finn and recorded by Split Enz for their 1980 True Colours album.
[1] The lyrics concerned a young man who had fallen in love with a girl on another planet, who he had only discovered existed when tuning his radio, and his regret that they will never meet face to face.
The song made use of an ethereal keyboard solo by Eddie Rayner.
In 2009 a Melbourne Theatre Company production[2] of the same name redeveloped the song's themes, with the other-worldly character presented as the ghost of a car accident.
With the B-sides "I See Red", which is available on the album, and "Albert of India".
