Lyrics:

BACK TO SCHOOL

Written by Mark Wright

Do you remember when you were nine or ten

You used to pray for your school day to end

Well the real world's mean and tough and school don't seem so rough

So I'm packing my old shirt and tie and pen

I'm going back to school again

I'm going back to school my friend

You might say I'm uncool but my friend you are the fool

'Cause I'll have no responsibility

And go home at half-three...

Now I work my job thirteen hours a day

Just so the taxman can take a third of my pay

I used to sleep so safe and sound when my only job was a paper-round

And mortgages seemed light years away

So what d'you say?

I'm going back to school again

I'm going back to school my friend

You might say I'm uncool but my friend you are the fool

'Cause I'll have no responsibility

And go home at half-three...

We could meet up in the playground at a quarter to nine

And kick a can around until registration time

And skive off double-science it just does in my brain

And hear those immortal words...

"Mr Wright...You're late again!"

Now my girlfriend is driving me insane

She's talking wedding bells again

Well I remember back then when to get a girl you'd just hold hands

And she'd take you back to her mum and dads' for tea

Now do you see?

I'm going back to school again

I'm going back to school my friend

You might say I'm uncool but my friend you are the fool

'Cause I'll have no responsibility

And go home at half-three...
