Schooldays lyrics
by Gentle Giant
[Verse 1]
The bell rings and all things are calling
The days past, the play's cast
Remember, September
When we were together
Together, together
[Chorus]
Schooldays, the happy days
When we were going nowhere
School-time, the happy time
When we were feeling no care
Schooldays when we three said
That we'd be friends forever
[Post-Chorus]
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
[Verse 2]
Did kites fly and I spy
And you cry to run fast or come last
You know how we made vows
They're gone now, we made friends
We broke friends, no more friends
[Chorus]
Schooldays, the happy days
When we were going nowhere
School-time, the happy time
When we were feeling no care
[Segue]
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
[Piano Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Remember, remember when we
Together went to the sea
Seagull's scream and pink ice cream (Was it real)
And the deep blue sky and the waves seem high (Or did we dream)
And golden sand (The days of)
And the town brass band plays on (Children gone)
[Verse 4]
Wait for me, wait for us always
Wait for me, wait for us to come
Mister Watson wants to see you (Homework's dull)
In the master's room (It's worth the pain)
It's about the work you should have done (To go out)
And I think you must go now (When I want)
[Bridge]
Remember
Gone, gone, gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Vibraphone Solo]
[Outro]
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
How long is ever isn't it strange
Schooldays together why do they change
