Lyrics

Thanks be to Margaret, I'm trained supremely well
In how to dally, dawdle, doss and dwell
With a biro, a giro and a bicycle
Through the summer of '84 I pedalled
You learn so swift how to shape the time dumped on your hands
While being measured lesser than any real working man
Leaving school over-qualified
To be economically vilified
Shafted, shunted, shunned and shamed and crucified
Costa-del-Dole tan worn with pride
In my possession the teeniest tiniest crumb of hash
Cheap sunglasses
A Penguin Classic paperback
And a flask
A Seeker on the Path
[Canal towpath]
There's room at the top they are telling you still
For debt crushed students and the mentally ill
There's room at the top they are telling you still
For zero-houred and the terminally ill
ahh, ahh, ohh
