Went to school, I studied
And I got my G.C.E.
My City and Guilds and my Sky Diary
But it didn't do me no good
They didn't like my looks,
So I burnt my books

25 years doesn't matter anymore
I stand around the streets
And lie around the floor
looking at the sky
I watch the world go by

25 years, 25 years...

I started out one day
And I worked in a factory
My mind went blank,
I needed a battery
Didn't do me no good
I got the sack,
My work was slack

They said there's life up there in the galaxy
The world's in collision
There's people with an allergy
25 years of,
25 years of,
25 years of social research

Spent 25 years doesn't matter anymore

I stand around the streets
And lie around the floor
Looking at the sky
I watch the world go by...

25 years,
25 years
