Schooldays

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Schooldays [Intro]           [Verse 1] In Delaware when I was younger I would live the life obscene   In the spring I had great hunger I was Brando I was Dean   Blaspheming booted blue-jeaned baby boy Oh how I made them turn their heads The townie brownie girls they jumped for joy   Begged me bless them in their beds___            [Verse 2] In Delaware when I was younger I would row upon the lake   In the spring I had great hunger I was Keats I was Blake My pimpled pencil pains I’d bring To frogs who sat entranced My drift-dreamed ditties I would sing The water strider danced            [Verse 3] In Delaware when I was younger They thought St. Andrew had sufficed   But in the spring I had great hunger I was Buddha I was Christ You wicked wise-men where’s your wonder? You Pharisees someday will pay See my lightning hear my thunder   I am truth I know the way____          [Outro] In Delaware when I was younger
