"20" - Travis

Sure it’s a gas

(We're) Stuck in an English class

Can’t even dream

So it’s hard to accept the role you’re given

When you’re sittin' there staring at the ceiling

Wishing you were so very far from here

When you’re 13

What fors and whys

If he’s got it why can’t I

You’re my queen

And I dream about you when I’m in my bed

And if all of these things are like you said

Then I’d rather be in another scene

When I’m 14

Just not fair

I’m not getting anywhere

Oh hard as a stone

They expect us to make it out alone

And they scream at us when we’re on the phone

And they lecture us all about routine

When you’re 15

Get out of here

You’re crowding my tender years

Don’t say you see

Cos you’d forgotten what it’s like to be

And I’m sure that it’s changed to some degree

Christ’s advice ain’t never as it seemed

When you’re 16

Four years go

You’ve fallen before you know

You’re now of age

And you’re thrown in a different cage

And you’re faced with another blank page

And I know I don’t need to be told
