Went to school I studied and got my G.C.E.
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
