\nBOARDING SCHOOL BLUES<\/b> – Part 1<\/span><\/div>\n
LEAVING HOME<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Coventry April1971<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nA case goes in the back<\/span><\/div>\n
\nA bag goes on the rack<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe go in the coach and down the wayward track.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe are 12 and never left home, off to make it on our own.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe coach draws off along the drive<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOur parents weep n wave and strive to see their darlings off.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

Leaving home for the first time<\/span><\/i>
\nTo get those boarding school blues<\/span><\/i>
\nLeaving home in term time<\/span><\/i>
\nTo break the old school rules!<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFun ‘n’ games and chat, handkerchiefs and looking back<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFinger spotting, whistling at the girls as the journey’s scenery unfurls.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd suddenly it’s endless fields and looking back..<\/span><\/div>\n
\nRegretting this, regretting that, wishing your were on the homeward track.<\/span>
\nThe homesick blues, you’re feeling bad. Could have been kinder to mum and dad!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTo Chorus..<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

Conversation runs rings around your head,<\/span>
\nYou’re feeling down, wish your were dead<\/span>
\nAs you gaze upon an endless void ahead<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n
\nWeary of the past, fearful of the future<\/span><\/div>\n

Life’s a mysterious tutor<\/span>
\nYou catch a joke, maybe you snigger <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nbut the hurt inside just gets bigger.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nChorus.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
