“Teenage Life”
Performed by Daz Sampson
Written by Daz Sampson & John Matthews
Now hear this
What did you learn at school today ?
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know
Don't understand, do they ?
Why do they always give advice ?
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long since they had a teenage life
Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young
Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams
Man they couldn't save me
Cos my days were numbered when I signed down on “Avy”
Teenage kicks running out what could we do
I still show respect to my boys who made it through
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal
So everyone could see
Sunshine and shade
Those girls I'd serenade
Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave
Hoping that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new
Just friends running together
But suddenly school ends
Your teenage life gone
All your mates are growing up now
They're moving on
And now I'm looking back
I'll tell you what I know
Do you listen to your teacher ?
No I don't think so
"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know
Don't understand, do they ?
Why do they always give advice
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life
Now if you treat the kids fine, together they will shine
Ooh ooh ooh shine
And if you give the kids time, they won't do the crime
Won't do the crime
