作曲：Ian Anderson

I was no good on the rugger field

Pushing and kicking brutish

Boys bothered me

Sensitive and caring seemed the

Lighter brighter way to be

Mr Jennings good housemaster

Seemed instinctively to understand

Touched me with his gentle presence

Under bedclothes underhand Underhand

Overnight he did a runner

Threatened with harsh expose

I fell to pieces dropped out

Of classes into life's endless melee

Endless melee

Parents listened didn't get it

Poof and Jesse Daddy said

Mummy tried but fussed and fretted

Skeletons best left under bed

Under the bed

Camden Market in the winter

A cold stone's throw from Kentish Town

Got a minute Just the ticket

Meet the boys and mess around

And mess around

Independence far from suburbia

Doss down and dirty tucked up tight

How's your father Not too chipper

Serves the bugger flippin' right

Flippin' right

Parents listened didn't get it

Poof and Jesse Daddy said

Mummy tried but fussed and

Fretted skeletons best left under bed

On the streets a rude survival

Hot like minded overtures

Sad departure sweet arrival

If you don't like it right up yours

There comes a point when deep conviction

Bears down hard on who you are

Pointless to don cloak of denial

Get the lead out and swing it far swing it far

Swing it far swing it far swing it far swing it
