Punchbag |
| If I brought a note to school |
| That said my days were numbered |
| They’d leave me |
| Numb and bleeding |
| Or strangle me with jump-leads |
| Momma, momma, momma |
| In my world |
| The birds don’t sing |
| The bells don’t ring |
| The bicycle bells, the bicycle bells |
| Momma, momma, momma, Help me! |
| I wish I could blend |
| Into the background |
| I’ve no excuses for my lack of guts |
| Lack of guts |
| What is it about me |
| That draws attention? |
| Fourth form atrocities |
| Punchbag |
| Come and get it Socrates |
| Got to hit back |
| Get down on your knees |
| Ready for the polythene bag |
| I’ve never been a natural |
| At physical things |
| I’ve never been good at cross-country running |
| Since the first football hit me in the ear |
| Like a frozen cannonball |
| And the knees buckled |
| And stayed bent |
| And the laughs came |
| And the nerve went |
| And «Dirty Jew» |
| Was written on the blackboard |
| Fourth form atrocities |
| Punchbag |
| Come and get it Socrates |
| Got to hit back |
| Get down on your knees |
| Ready for the polythene |
| Ready for the polythene |
| Ready for the polythene |
| Bag treatment |
| Running through the corridors |
| Far too many obstacles |
| Bursting, bursting |
| Bursting for the crap I know |
| They’ll never let me have |
| Fourth form punchbag |
| Oh God I wish that I was |
| Thicker than I am |
| And thinner than I am |
| Oh God I wish that I had |
| Normal ears |
| And clearer skin |
| I’m praying for the day |
| When handsome’s out |
| And ugly’s in |
| Fourth form punchbag |
| Fourth form punchbag |
| To Jesus I pray |
| For strength to survive |
| Your Christian soldiers |
| Smell blood |
| I torture myself in private |
| To prepare me for the pain |
| I talk to myself in public |
| On the buses and the train |
| My father just ignores it |
| 'Cos it goes against the grain |
| Momma, momma, momma, Help me! |
| Fourth form punchbag |
| Fourth form punchbag |
| Booming round the corridors |
| Like guadiamus igitur |
| Fourth form punchbag |
| Fourth form punchbag |
| Can |
| Please |
| Get |
| Up |
| Now |
| No |
| When? |
