about

A gentle pastiche and comment about our school days

lyrics

The sneering head looked down at the small boy
And you could see it in his eyes
"This boy will never amount to much in life"
"He's not going to measure up"
The child turned away vilified
But all the time inside

I'll live my life as I wanna be
Although my world is a fantasy
I'll turn my dreams to reality, I will
But I'm not
Half as high as the year before last year

The sporting heros turned out on Saturday
But he was nowhere to be seen
They'd left him out of all the teams it seems
Because they thought he was a, weed
Music ruled his life now anyway
And they'd all see one day

I'll live my life as I wanna be
Although my world is a fantasy
I'll turn my dreams to reality, I will
But I'm not
Half as high as the year before last year

The examinations were approaching fast
And things they went from bad to worse
So many things happening in his life
The parties, the music, and the girls
"This boy should drop all outside activities"
"If he's ever to succeed"

I'll live my life as I wanna be
Although my world is a fantasy
I'll turn my dreams to reality, I will
But I'm not
Half as high as the year before last year

No I'm not
Half as high as the year before last year
