Scholarship Is The Enemy Of Romance Lyrics - Billy Bragg

Scholarship is the enemy of romance 

Where does that leave me? alone in the rain again 

What happened to the weekend I planned with you? 

We didn't even get upstairs this time 

I never missed that end-of-term kiss 

But where did it go, miss? I don't know, miss 

Take me to the fair and hold me close as we fly 

Through the air 

Then suddenly on Sunday, it all just melted away 

And when it had gone, between patches of yellowing grass 

I found a coin and lost what I was looking for 

I never took the advice in that book 

Oh you should look, sir, you might learn, sir, 

You might learn, sir
