lyrics

Academic genius, first time away from home
Prestigious university, the world was his to own
He had to snap up the opportunity
Time to face up to reality

Alcopops, tuition fees, they gave them out for free
Wasted days spent studying the birds and the bees
Those drunken nights with his fraternity
Now TV dinners his reality

Those were the days he’ll always treasure
Never new things could turn so sour
A lifetime’s worth of happy hours
But no one’s smiling now

The smell of patchouli, Beatrice Dalle on the wall
Half-hearted scribbled poetry, the moustache said it all
He graduated with a Mickey Mouse degree
Now telesales are his reality

Lying in ‘til 2pm, the pub for Sunday roast
Another skipped tutorial, a quick spin up to the coast
He didn’t take us so seriously
Now on-line dating is his reality
