\nWE’RE GOING HOME
Boarding School Blues  (Part 2)<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Coventry April 1971<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nOne more day in this old place<\/i>
\nThere’s one more day and we’re going home.<\/i>
\nGoing home after far too long<\/i>
\nWe’re going home – it’s been so long.<\/i><\/p>\n

\nIn the prep room there is chaos,
\nEven the Masters celebrate.
\nFun fights in the dormitories,
\nNobody can wait.
\nIt’s all midnight packing and bed-ransacking
\nPillow fights and bright torchlights.
\nEverybody’s getting ready,
\nEverybody knows
\nWe’re going home.<\/p>\n

At last the time has come,
\nNo one will sleep tonight.
\nLights out – half past ten
\nNo one gives a damn!
\nMidnight raids on the staff room,
\nBiscuits topped with jam.
\nIt’s all been school meals and lessons, <\/span><\/div>\n

slippers, canes, assembly
\nBut tomorrow – we’re going home,<\/p>\n

Tossing our caps in the Severn, <\/span><\/div>\n

as the coach rolls over the bridge.
Seagulls come to greet them <\/span><\/div>\n
and fly off over the ridge.
\nIt’s all ‘when I get home, I’m gonna do this, do that<\/i>‘<\/span><\/div>\n
And ” phew! I’m glad that’s over”
\nNothing seems to matter <\/span><\/div>\n
when you’re on the homeward track.<\/p>\n

Look out Coventry city – the boys are back in town
\nThe girls are looking pretty, we’ll soon be hanging round.
\nIt’s been facts n figures and classroom triggers
\nbut now we’re coming home.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
