If I brought a note to school |
|
That said my days were numbered |
|
They'd leave me |
|
Numb and bleeding |
|
Or strangle me with jump-leads |
|
Momma, momma, momma, |
|
In my world |
|
The birds don't sing |
|
The bells don't ring |
|
The bicycle bells, the bicycle bells |
|
Momma, momma, momma, Help me! |
|
I wish I could blend |
|
Into the background |
|
I've no excuses for my lack of guts |
|
Lack of guts |
|
What is it about me |
|
That draws attention? |
|
Fourth form atrocities |
|
Punchbag |
|
Come and get it Socrates |
|
Got to hit back |
|
Get down on your knees |
|
Ready for the polythene bag |
|
I've never been a natural |
|
At physical things |
|
I've never been good at cross-country running |
|
Since the first football hit me in the ear |
|
Like a frozen cannonball |
|
And the knees buckled |
|
And stayed bent |
|
And the laughs came |
|
And the nerve went |
|
And "Dirty Jew" |
|
Was written on the blackboard |
|
Fourth form atrocities |
|
Punchbag |
|
Come and get it Socrates |
|
Got to hit back |
|
Get down on your knees |
|
Ready for the polythene |
|
Ready for the polythene |
|
Ready for the polythene |
|
Bag treatment |
|
Running through the corridors |
|
Far too many obstacles |
|
Bursting, bursting |
|
Bursting for the crap I know |
|
They'll never let me have |
|
Fourth form punchbag |
|
Oh God I wish that I was |
|
Thicker than I am |
|
And thinner than I am |
|
Oh God I wish that I had |
|
Normal ears |
|
And clearer skin |
|
I'm praying for the day |
|
When handsome's out |
|
And ugly's in |
|
Fourth form punchbag |
|
Fourth form punchbag |
|
To Jesus I pray |
|
For strength to survive |
|
Your Christian soldiers |
|
Smell blood |
|
I torture myself in private |
|
To prepare me for the pain |
|
I talk to myself in public |
|
On the buses and the train |
|
My father just ignores it |
|
'Cos it goes against the grain |
|
Momma, momma, momma, Help me! |
|
Fourth form punchbag |
|
Fourth form punchbag |
|
Booming round the corridors |
|
Like guadiamus igitur |
|
Fourth form punchbag |
|
Fourth form punchbag |
|
Can |
|
I |
|
Please |
|
Get |
|
Up |
|
Now |
|
No |
|
When? |
