Born on a Sunday, everyday is Monday
That is what I've heard
About the real world

Up on the morning,
Heading for the schoolyard
Big boys being bullies make it so hard?


It's a lesson for the real world
Seems so far away the real world


Up to the bigger school
Trying not to be foot

Hear I am new shoes and cagoule
Look I'm getting closer to the real world
("Tell me where the girls are?")


Thinking about happiness
Thinking about Tara

Thinking about sorrow
Thinking about Sara
Sorrow and Sara are the very same word


In my young life I get so hurt
Will I make it in the real world?


Gluing up my Airfix kit
Cigarettes after gym

Had a pint of Special Brew
Won't do that again


Train for examination, got me traction.
Mickey mouse college course,
Looking for action

Play guitar, stacking shelves
Holding back in the real world


Now it's Monday morning,
I'm still yawning
Scuffing down the city street

Heading for the clock on
Bought a 'Daily Record' like a real man


Well I made it to the real world
But I'm not living in the real world
