lyrics

Not long past the age thirteen
A schoolgirl came to me
She asked ‘Am I pretty?’
And I suppose I thought she bought
My line which said she was a beauty

Her knee socks they were knocking
As I versed something quite shocking
So she sent me to the mistress of her house
Who asked me to recite it in private
And then undo her blouse

Forgetting my schoolboy charm
The number of lovers I realized was greater
Attracting wives with boring lives
Who care not you’re fourteen
When they’re pushing forty
Did you know that I’d rather be bashful
Than full of charm or peak my bravado
And give her a mouthful
Of how she looks youthful

My teenage years were spent like this
Turning my charm into a bliss
I do believe I was deceived
Because all I did receive
Was the purring of her pleasure
And, no, I didn’t love her

Forgetting my schoolboy charm
The number of lovers I realized was greater
Attracting wives with boring lives
Who care not you’re fourteen
When they’re pushing forty
Did you know that I’d rather be bashful
Than full of charm or peak my bravado
And give her a mouthful
Of how she looks youthful

Forgetting my schoolboy charm

The heart-wrenching music merges guitar and cello melodies into arrangements that are at once idyllic in essence and elaborate in structure. ... more
