Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Paul Mccartney or about the 1990s in general.

We’re here in school today to get a perfect education,
Yes, we’re going up.
We’re keen to learn the rules and laws that civilization taught us
Yes, we’re growing up.
Not for ourselves, B
but for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in Liverpool.

Our teachers say that ignorance will always drag us down,
It’s like a nagging cough.

But I can say that looking back,
The most important thing I found was sagging off!
Not for the whole world.
But for yourself were you born.
And you were…

Born in Liverpool.

Not Birmingham
Nor Edinburgh.
Not Manchester
Or Sunderland.

Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities.

This school is good for us.

This school is only good for those
Who want to learn from books.

You’ll lose your sense of purpose…

But we dare not answer back,
We’re scared of teacher’s looks.
Not for ourselves,
But for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in Liverpool.

Not Coventry

Or Solihull.

Not Scarborough

Nor Inverness.
Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities.

Walk in single file out of the classroom,
Down the stairs and into the playground.

Through the school gates,
Cross the road, and over the cemetery fence,
Down the hill to where the grave-stones
Lie inviting in the sun.

Settle down.
Settle down.
Let the afternoon slip by.
Settle down.
Settle down.
It’s the perfect place for a kip.

Kept in confusion,
Trapped by illusion,
Thinking of speaking my mind.
Dreams of the future,
Ghosts of the past left behind.

Constantly drifting,
Endlessly lifting
More weight than one man can bear.
Into the future,
Ghosts of the past everywhere.

You’re sleeping amongst us,
We’re in your dream,
Who are you?
Why call us?

What does this mean?
Disturbing our slumber,
You move so fast.

Ghosts of the past.
Tossing and turning,
Somehow I’m learning
Secrets I’d rather not know.
Can’t it be simple?
Why does it have to be so?

I ll always be here,
I ll never leave you,
I ll always be in your mind.
Dreams of the future,
Ghosts that the past left behind.

You’re sleeping amongst us.
We re in your dream.
Who are you?
Why call us?
What does this mean?

Disturbing our slumber,
You move so fast.

Ghosts of the past.

(later, back in school)

Boys, this is your teacher.
Her name is Miss Inkley.
She will reach you Spanish.
She was in the war
Fighting with the troops.
You may call her Sir!

SIR?

First of all today
You will learn a song
In a foreign tongue.
You will follow me
As I say the words.
We will now begin…

Tres conejos

Tres conejos

En un arbol

En un arbol

Tocando

Tocando

El tambor

El tambor.

Que si

Que si

Que si. Lo he visto yo.

Ahem!

Tres conejos
En un arbol
Tocando
El tambor.

Que si.
Lo he visto yo.

Tres conejos
En un arbol
Tocando
El tambor.

Ahem!
Tres conejos
En un arbol
Tocando

El tambor.

No.
Que si
Lo he visto yo.

Not for ourselves,
But for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in Liverpool.

Not Birmingham

Nor Edinburgh.

Not Manchester

Or Solihull.

Being born where you were born

Carries with it certain responsi..

Carries with it certain responsi..

Carries with it certain responsibilities.
