The Hawklords (aka Hawkwind) - 25 Years

A5 B5 D5 E5

[] [] [] []

Went to school, I studied

And I got my G.C.E.

My City and Guilds and my Sky Diary

But it didn't do me no good

They didn't like my looks,

So I burnt my books

25 years doesn't matter anymore

I stand around the streets

And lie around the floor

looking at the sky

I watch the world go by

25 years

I started out one day

And I worked in a factory

My mind went blank,

I needed a battery

Didn't do me no good

I got the sack,

My work was slack

They said there's life up there in the galaxy

The world's in collision

There's people with an allergy

25 years of,

25 years of social research

25 years doesn't matter anymore

I stand around the streets

And lie around the floor

looking at the sky

I watch the world go by

25 years
