Onsind - Sweet and Tender, Julian lyrics

We were promised the best years of our lives
All we got was name-calling and fights
Because narrow minded fools
Run comprehensive schools

Jules was one of the chosen few
Whose charisma and charm seemed
To carry him through
But when he turned his eye on you
Well there was not much you could do
'Cause he was pissing about while they
Were passing out their rules
Again, and again, and again
His punishment was overdue

Julian Stokes used to tell jokes
Spent half his time trying to make us laugh
It was all fine, 'til he crossed the line
When he took the piss out of Chelsea's dad
She planned her sweet revenge for weeks and
When it came off it was class
Julian Stokes, sobbing and soaked
Walked home alone from the formal dance

Chelsea’s dad was on remand
For assault with intent, near the taxi-stand
And each trip to visit him seemed to
Take a little longer than the last
But Jules was just too cool to care
He would mention things that
Others wouldn't dare
And he soon learned the price of
Making light of someone else's plight
When nostalgia grips me
It hit's me in the face
Again and again and again
That school was such an awful place

Julian Stokes used to tell jokes
Spent half his time trying to make us laugh
It was all fine, 'til he crossed the line
When he took the piss out of Chelsea's dad
She planned her sweet revenge for weeks and
When it came off it was class
Julian Stokes, sobbing and soaked
Walked home alone from the formal dance

Julian

Julian Stokes used to tell jokes
Julian Stokes used to tell jokes
But not anymore

Julian Stokes, he used to tell jokes
But not anymore julian Stokes, he
Used to tell jokes but not anymore
Julian Stokes, he used to tell jokes
But not anymore julian Stokes, he
Used to tell jokes

Julian
