Back To Schooldays - Graham Parker, The Rumour

Don’t seem to be no break in the line don’t seem to be no break boys

They ruined my vision screwed up my eyes

I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do boys

I’m going back to schooldays I’m going back to schooldays

I’m going back to schooldays to put them right

They tell me that it was like a film out here

But it’s a real horror show boys

They told me that it was all black and white

There’s so many shades I can see boys

I’m going back to schooldays I’m going back to schooldays

I’m going back to schooldays to put them right

Ain’t nobody wants to know you when you’re down

And everybody wants to lose you when you’re found

Now if I think I might break even I might go home quietly

I’ll marry a rich girl but otherwise

I’m going to raise hell and rightly

I’m going back to schooldays I’m going back to schooldays

I’m going back to schooldays to put them right

Shake it!

Whew!

Yeah!

That’s all right!

Now if I seem just a might confused, don’t give me all of the blame boys

24 years just obeying the rules, no wonder I’m half-insane boys

I’m going back to schooldays I’m going back to schooldays

I’m going back to schooldays to put them right

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I’m going back to schooldays I’m a-going back to schooldays

I’m going back to schooldays to put them right

I’m going back to schooldays I’m a-going back to schooldays

I’m going back to schooldays to put them right

To put them right yeah!

to put them right huh!
