Lyrics

After what happened in P.E I didn't want to go back I knew it wasn't gonna be good But it turned out so much worse Than I would ever have thought it could - Blanked by my best mates Taxed at the school gates Punched in the face on the bus... For a while it got a little too much Laughter resounding along the corridor Me in a puddle on the floor Anthony Pape leans over and spits - I don't want to remember any more So Anthony was expelled for something else entirеly - And term rumbled quietly on I just triеd to keep my head down But ended up messing up my GCSEs Much to Dad's disappointment Though mainly thanks to the encouragement of Mrs. Kovacic I managed an A and a B in English I'm in the library every lunchtime Far away from the noise outside Putting the finishing touches on my entry For this short story competition I got a phone call at work today From Joshua's school Asking me to come right away I was in the middle of a Zoom With one of our most important clients - Majestic Wine He's been scrapping again Broke a lad's jaw And now he's suspended Pending further investigation What am I gonna do with this kid? Shaking the hand of the dour Assistant Head I ask "Does Mrs. Kovacic still teach here?" "She's taking some well deserved leave" - The old brick buildings Have been replaced with glass and steel At Blue Flames to watch the Under-21s After a week of hardly talking at all During a lull in play I finally say: "I know you've got a good heart"
