gareth de korte - i was only fourteen كلمات الأغنية

mum and dad and granny dropped me off at the carpark of the exhibition building
it was a long drive from glenroy
i answered ‘c’ on what i didn’t know, i thought i failed, then i got the letter
i’m a melbourne high school boy

and we all lined the steps of that great castle on the hill
dressed in baggy unicorns shirts that we’re yet to fill
cause they’re new, our books and bags had a shiny gleam
god help me
i was only fourteen

from swimming 50 meters, to rehearsals in your breaks
i’d been in and out of cl-sses now for weeks
but with constant interruptions, swimming, millgrove, singing, athletic trials
i hadn’t learnt time management techniques
and can you tell me teacher, will this go on my report?
how did i get fencing and lawn bowls for weekly sport
what gets more diploma points
is there anything that’s fun?
god help me
it’s only term 1

it’s a whole year operation
where one bad result could mean another tutor, but there’s games to play all night
and you wouldn’t let your mates down, you’d let them strengthen up the clan
so you stack your deck for your next yu-gi-oh fight
when someone called out ‘snickers’ and the kid behind me swore
now i get my bag searched at every woolworths store
some cl-ss cheated, now i get a derived geography score
god help me
it’s not even term 4

i can see still see rows of empty decks inside the hall, and the guilt of knowing what i haven’t learnt
and i can still hear songs from speech night, running through my head as i wonder around the city at the end of term 4
and old boys never mention under 90 atar scores
how does latin scale to 56 from 44
all i hear is melbourne, monash medicine or law
god help me
vu’s opening next door

and why they’d tell me ‘teacher, that creative thoughts are charm’ cus i wonder what if lindsey’s chopper landed in a fire alarm
is there any logic to the house’s colour scheme?
god help me
i’ve just turned 15
in the maroon and green
