Top of the Form Lyrics

We had PE on Tuesdays And English on Wednesdays
School was a prison Where I served my time
The teachers all loathed me My attitude fooled them
They quite often nailed me To any old crime
Life was so different For underachievers
Who grew up surviving On scr*ps they were sent
The painters, the singers The being unusual
They ducked and they dived Until they were fed
Normal
Would send me to sleep
So I made my escape every day of the week
Normal
Would not teach me much
So I stayed at home and watched Starsky and Hutch
I'm top of the form I'm top of the form
I never read Shakespeare Or understood Latin
I lived in a small house With no books at all
But there was a record That I kept on playing
And I had a suitcase Out in the hall
Life was so different Or have I just grown up
And turned into someone I feared I would be
The teacher who caned me Is now on the inside
He's getting me back for my history
Normal
Would lead me to drink
So I moved out and stuck my head in the sink
Normal
Meant nothing to me
But that's just the way
It turned out to be
I'm top of the form I'm top of the form
We had fish on Friday
Roast on Sunday
Salads in summer
Fresh from the ground
We all peeled potatoes
While mum made the crumble
My memory savours
The love that we found
Lead Break to end
