Lyrics

Boys
We're here in school today to get a perfect education
Yes, we're going up
We're keen to learn the rules and laws that civilization taught us
Yes, we're growing up
Not for ourselves, b
But for the whole world were we born
And we were born in liverpool
Our teachers say that ignorance will always drag us down
It's like a nagging cough

Shanty (thrown away)
But I can say that looking back
The most important thing I found was sagging off!
Not for the whole world
But for yourself were you born
And you were..

Shanty and boys
Born in liverpool

Boys
Not birmingham
Nor edinburgh
Not manchester
Or sunderland

Shanty
Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities

Boys
This school is good for us

Shanty
This school is only good for those
Who want to learn from books

You'll lose your sense of purpose..

Boys
But we dare not answer back
We're scared of teacher's looks
Not for ourselves
But for the whole world were we born
And we were born in liverpool

Shanty
Not coventry

Headmaster
Or solihull

Boys
Not scarborough

Shanty
Nor inverness
Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities

Headmaster
Walk in single file out of the classroom
Down the stairs and into the playground

Boys
Through the school gates
Cross the road, and over the cemetery fence
Down the hill to where the grave-stones
Lie inviting in the sun

Settle down
Settle down
Let the afternoon slip by
Settle down
Settle down
It's the perfect place for a kip

(Shanty falls asleep on a grave-stone and dreams)

Shanty

Kept in confusion
Trapped by illusion
Thinking of speaking my mind
Dreams of the future
Ghosts of the past left behind

Constantly drifting
Endlessly lifting
More weight than one man can bear
Into the future
Ghosts of the past everywhere

Men's chorus (ghosts)
You're sleeping amongst us
We're in your dream
Who are you?
Why call us?

What does this mean?
Disturbing our slumber
You move so fast

Shanty
Ghosts of the past
Tossing and turning
Somehow I'm learning
Secrets I'd rather not know
Can't it be simple?
Why does it have to be so?

Mary dee (as ghost)
I ll always be here
I ll never leave you
I ll always be in your mind
Dreams of the future
Ghosts that the past left behind

Women s chorus (ghosts)
You re sleeping amongst us
We re in your dream
Who are you?
Why call us?
What does this mean?

Full chorus (ghosts)
Disturbing our slumber
You move so fast

Shanty and mary dee (as ghost)
Ghosts of the past

(Later, back in school)

Headmaster
Boys, this is your teacher
Her name is miss inkley
She will reach you spanish
She was in the war
Fighting with the troops
You may call her sir!

Boys
Sir?

Miss inkley
First of all today
You will learn a song
In a foreign tongue
You will follow me
As I say the words
We will now begin..
