Nightcap (2 cd)

Your mother she protected you
And softened every blow
And brought you up to fear the worst
To be careful as you go


And the learned educators
With dripfeed drifty facts to fill
You up to here with reason
Wellmeaning overkill


If you find yourself agrowing
to be old before your time
Get off the endless corridor
Set your soul out on the line


Drive on the young side of life


When the pressure pains are building
And you're forced to join the crush
In the race to mediocrity
So respectable and plush


And while the child within is raging
And threatens to break out
Get off the endless corridor
Make a timely turnabout


Drive on the young side of life.
