The Gangway

My teacher doesn’t stand a chance
When all I can think about is my school-yard romance
He says
«Look at the next generation what a state
I wouldn’t laugh if I were you mate»
Silence makes the darkest sound
Down The Gangway for some one on one
She un-squared me with her cola bottle tongue
She’s one of those who has an open mind
But she knows it all anyway so I’m just wasting time
As silence makes the darkest sound it’s
Better when you’re around
You know me
Inside out
You know when
To sit me down
And sort me out
Growing up true is hard to do
When I go to sleep at night
I wake up blind because my dreams are so bright
Can’t wait to die, come back as something else
Knowing my luck I’ll come back as myself
As money makes the world go down
It’s better when you’re around
You know me
Inside out
You know when
To sit me down
And sort me out
Growing up true is hard to do
It all adds up to zero
And counts for nothing now
It all adds up to zero
When you’re not around
