'New School Blues'
I’m so worried and confused.
Nothing’s going right.
I started a new school today.
I’ll get no sleep tonight.
I don’t know what to take each day.
They haven’t made it clear.
What my timetable will be
So now I live.. in fear.
I’ll get told off if I don’t bring
The right kit for PE.
But I don’t know the difference
Between sports kit and PE.
I don’t have any football boots.
I’ve got no indoor shoes.
No apron for technology.
I’ve got the New School Blues.
My mum and dad are all spent up.
It cost a hundred quid
For them to buy my uniform.
Cos I’m such a big kid.
I’m 5 foot 5, although I’m 9
I could have died of shame
when all the big kids from the top
came up and asked my name.
And even when they showed surprise
That I am really massive
And only in the bottom class, I stood there just all passive.
I smiled at them, all sweet and shy
I felt my face go red.
I wish I could be really ill and spend the year in bed.
Next day
I’m feeling better now that I have got a plan...
Of things to take to school each day
I’ll now know where I am.
Oh, I’m so worried and confused
It’s never going to end
I’ve even got some homework now
To spoil
my first weekend.
