Not So Academic |
I’m a rogue, saint and a scoundrel |
I terminate at Bethnal Green |
I’d shake hands with the devil |
To get where I want to be |
Because I feel my soul |
Swell through my brain |
And spit tears out my eyes |
When I hit the refrain |
And lately I just daydream |
A social outcast in my tower |
If only all men had the courage |
They too could be cowards |
They could feel their souls |
Swell through their brains |
And spit tears out their eyes |
Again and again |
When they hit the refrain |
But mother I’m not so academic |
I’m not so academic but I love |
I’m a rogue, saint and a scoundrel |
I spend my days on the echoing green |
Come thunder frightening |
Or dumb white lightning-flooded |
Couldashouldawouldofbeens |
Out of control |
Out of sync |
Everywhere but the bowl |
Everywhere but the kitchen sink |
Mother I’m not so academic |
Mother I’m not so academic but I love |
