The Candyskins - Swimming Pool lyrics

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
