The Open University Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

Let me tell you 'bout a girl who's breaking my heart 

She decided lately to get smart 

She read an article that changed her life 

So tired of working in a factory 

She joined the Open University. 

We used to have a lot of fun you know 

Spend our money and away we'd go 

But now whenever I go round to call 

She's reading Lawrence and T. H. Huxley 

With the Open University. 

INSTRUMENTAL 

She never cared for school - such a drag 

Now she's qualification mad 

She's corresponding like a politician 

Her main objective is an arts degree 

God help the Open University.
