For The Quiffs

lyrics

Monday
I’m told my homework then I go to the library
Visit my mother and work on my poetry
In fine old English verse
Colloquialisms are a curse

Evenings
I work a bar job on the town center’s high street
You wouldn’t believe all the deep artists that I meet

This is for the quiffs
The Volvo revolution
That drives on through
Quiet suburban roads
Safe and sound
Headed out of town
At a steady pace

This week
I earned my stripes and put some weed into my pocket
I stop and stare and strike a pose that’s so narcotic
(Neurotic)
The smoke expands my soul
I hope I die before I go bald

Term ends
I catch a plane and I take a foreign holiday
Each day I catch the bus and see some foreign history

This is for the quiffs
The Volvo revolution
That drives on through
Quiet suburban roads
Safe and sound
Headed out of town
At a steady pace

I’m at the forefront of a youth revolt our time is coming soon
I’ll have a coffee in the common room and read the papers too
I’m at the forefront of a youth revolt our time is coming soon
I’ll have a coffee in the common room and read the papers too

For the quiffs
The Volvo revolution
That drives on safe and sound
