City and guilds and my sky diary But it didn't do no good Didn't like my looks So I burnt my books Spent 25 years doesn't matter anymore Stand around the streets And lay around the floor Watch the world go by Looking at the sky 25 years, 25 years They said there's a life up there in the galaxy The world in collision There's people with an allergy 25 years of, 25 years of, 25 years of social research I started out one day and I worked in a factory My mind went blank I needed a battery Didn't do no good I got the sack, my work was slack Spent 25 years doesn't matter anymore Stand around the streets And lay around the floor Watch the world go by Looking at the sky 25 years, 25 years
