Leonard Cohen - School Days lyrics

[Leonard Cohen - School Days lyrics]

I headed the school i was the school head
John was the arms peggy was the asshole
And Jennifer the toes
I loved the asshole best

In my striped football sweater
And in my v-neck hockey shirt i was a sight
No wonder Peggy fell under my influence
Until the accident then I lost her

Flags wave and banners ripple
All is lost for the visiting team
There I am in a bad seat
Scowling at our victory
I cannot take my eyes off
Her little bouncing skirt
I'm talking about the cheerleader
Named Peggy that was forty-seven years ago
The Past i never think about The Past
But sometimes the Past thinks about me
And sit's down ever so lightly on my face
And me and Peggy and John and Jennifer
Our scarves in the wind, we're speeding
In the family roadster to someone's house
In Nantucket and I can walk again
