Borstal Boy lyrics
Was always on the outside
I never could fit
I tried to be accepted
Bit by bit
I wanted you forever
But your daddy he said ‘No’
He said I’m not suitable
He told me get out and go!
Said he knows all about my kind
And what’s always on my mind
Go take a shower and get employed
You’re just a Borstal Boy
Just a Borstal Boy
If I could turn back time
I’d be miles away
From the scene of the crime
Where cops nabbed me for foul play
I never did wrong
Was in the wrong place
All my hopes had gone
When someone I.d. my face
I’m here doing time
In a world I don’t belong
I walk the line
I know I must be strong
When I knocked at the door he and screamed
‘Oh heck, you’re just a pain in the neck’
I know I’m in troubled waters
But what can I do – I’m in love with the police chief’s daughter!
My love for her he wants to destroy
As he screams ‘Go away Borstal Boy’! You’ve been hanging around far too long
It’s time to cut loose and be gone, be gone
You’re getting me really annoyed
Go away Borstal Boy
Go away Borstal Boy
Go away Borstal Boy
Do me a favour don’t come back
Be gone, be gone
Was always on the outside
I never could fit
I tried to be accepted
Bit by bit
I wanted you forever
But your daddy he said ‘No’
He said I’m not suitable
He told me get out and go!
Get out and go, get out and go
Said he knows all about my kind
And what’s always on my mind
Go take a shower and get employed
You’re just a Borstal Boy
You’re just a Borstal Boy
You’re just a Borstal Boy
No-one will take me on
When they know about my past
Say ‘Sorry, we don’t employ ex-Cons’
The die’s already been cast
