[Verse]
BWe were promised the best years of our lives, 
Bbut all we got was name-calling and fights, 
because Enarrow minded fools run Bcomprehensive schools 
BJules was one of the chosen few, 
whose Bcharisma and charm seemed to carry him through 
but when he Eturned his eye on you, 
well there was Bnot much you could do 
‘Cause he was C#pissing about 
while they were Epassing out their Brules, 
Bagain, and again, and again, 
but his C#punishment was Eoverdue. 
 BJulian B/GStokes, used to tell C#/G#jokes, 
spent all his Etime trying to make us Blaugh 
It was all B/Gfine, till he crossed the C#/G#line 
when he took the Episs out of Chelsea’s Bdad 
She planned her B/Gsweet revenge 
for C#/G#weeks and when it Ecame off it was Bclass 
Julian B/GStokes, sobbing and C#/G#soaked, 
walked home aElone from the formal Bdance.

[Verse]
BChelsea’s dad was on remand 
Bfor assault with intent, by the taxi-stand, 
and each Etrip to visit him, 
seemed to take a little Blonger than the last 
BJules was just too cool to care, 
He would Bmention things that others wouldn’t dare 
and Ehe soon learned the price 
of Bmaking light of someone else’s plight 
When C#nostalgia grips me, 
it Ehits me in the Bface, 
Bagain and again and again 
That C#school was such an Eawful place.

[Intro]

B E

[Verse]

We were promised the best years of our lives,

but all we got was name-calling and fights,

E B

because narrow minded fools run comprehensive schools

Jules was one of the chosen few,

whose charisma and charm seemed to carry him through

but when he turned his eye on you,

well there was not much you could do

‘Cause he was pissing about

E B

while they were passing out their rules,

again, and again, and again,

C# E

but his punishment was overdue.

B B/G C#/G#

Julian Stokes, used to tell jokes,

E B

spent all his time trying to make us laugh

B/G C#/G#

It was all fine, till he crossed the line

E B

when he took the piss out of Chelsea’s dad

B/G

She planned her sweet revenge

C#/G# E B

for weeks and when it came off it was class

B/G C#/G#

Julian Stokes, sobbing and soaked,

E B

walked home alone from the formal dance.

B E B E

[Verse]

Chelsea’s dad was on remand

for assault with intent, by the taxi-stand,

and each trip to visit him,

seemed to take a little longer than the last

Jules was just too cool to care,

He would mention things that others wouldn’t dare

and he soon learned the price

of making light of someone else’s plight

When nostalgia grips me,

E B

it hits me in the face,

again and again and again

C# E

That school was such an awful place.

[Chorus]

B B/G C#/G#

Julian Stokes, used to tell jokes,

E B

spent all his time trying to make us laugh

B/G C#/G#

It was all fine, till he crossed the line

E B

when he took the piss out of Chelsea’s dad

B/G

She planned her sweet revenge

C#/G# E B

for weeks and when it came off it was class

B/G C#/G#

Julian Stokes, sobbing and soaked,

E E

walked home alone from the formal dance.
