lyrics

Sat outside the departure lounge
and I'm confessing to my feet

Ditch the train grab the bus instead
Now I'm running through the street

oooooo Ohh I'll graduate

Left behind, on the district line
planned engineering works today

Life is hard, dropped your oyster card
and a fifteen minute delay

oooooo Ohh I’ll graduate

It looked good on the face of it,
But now I can see through it

Graduate to maturity
from which there is no escape

It’s time well spent, now you can pay the rent
and get a bigger place one day

It looked good on the face of it,
But now I can see through it

oooooo Ohh I’ll Graduate

It looked good on the face of it, but now i see straight through
it looked good on the face of it, but now I have to start anew
and graduate.
