Candyskins - Swimming Pool lyrics

rate me

I was never good at school

You couldn't keep me awake

I loved it by the swimming pool

Just floating off into space

I think of what I could have been

Sweating in a nylon shirt

The captain of a loser's team

Saying nothing till I'm fit to burst

And if I could only do it

I would say I knew you were a friend of mine

But I've been on this planet

Long enough to know it's just a waste of time

And the days get longer

They get longer day by day by day by day by day

Sit up, Sit straight, and concentrate

Grow up to be someone you hate

C'mon, get up, get out of bed

Don't use excuses, use your head

I was never good at school

You couldn't keep me awake

I loved it by the swimming pool

Just floating off into space

And if I could have an hour

I would take a shower and forget it all

And if things were any better

I would only worry I'd been here before

And the days get longer

They get longer day by day by day by day by day

Sit up, Sit straight, and concentrate

Grow up to be someone you hate

C'mon, get up, get out of bed

Don't use excuses, use your head

C'mon, get up, get out of bed

Don't use excuses, use your head

Use your head
