Top Of The Form Lyrics - Cradle To The Grave - Squeeze

We had PE on Tuesdays 

And English on Wednesdays 

School was a prison 

Where I served my time 

The teachers all loathed me 

My attitude fooled them 

They quite often nailed me 

To any old crime 

Life was so different 

For underachievers 

Who grew up surviving 

On scraps they were sent 

The painters, the singers 

The being unusual 

They ducked and they dived 

Until they were fed 

Whoa-oh-oh 

Normal 

Would send me to sleep 

So I made my escape every day of the week 

Normal 

Would not teach me much 

So I stayed at home and watched 

Starsky and Hutch 

I'm top of the form 

I'm top of the form 

I never read Shakespeare 

Or understood Latin 

I lived in a small house 

With no books at all 

But there was a record 

That I kept on playing 

I had my suitcase 

Out in the hall 

Life was so different 

Or have I just grown up 

And turned into someone 

I feared I would be 

The teacher who caned me 

Is now on the inside 

He's getting me back for my history 

Whoa-oh-oh 

Normal 

Would lead me to drink 

So I moved out and stuck my head in the sink 

Normal 

Meant nothing to me 

But that's just the way 

That it turned out to be 

I'm top of the form 

I'm top of the form 

We had fish on Friday 

Normal 

Roast on Sunday 

Normal 

Salads in summer 

Normal 

Fresh from the ground 

We all peeled potatoes 

Normal 

While mum made the crumble 

Normal 

My memory savours 

Normal 

The love that we found
