The Boy From the Tail End of the Goldhawk Road Two
2.
No Golden Honour
Golden in the class
Honour certificate
No problem
But mademoiselle
Was to cry
Something changed,
Who knows when?
Something changed,
Even I don’t know why.

Tiny, Capricious, Impish
Tiny, capricious, impish,
Perfect imitations of head prefects,
Nearly got caned for it,
Get your hands out of your pockets!
Cackles of laughter before grace,
Up before the head prefects,
Endearment to the seniors,
Friend of all the tough guys,
The most popular bloke in the third form,
Constantly in trouble,
Ingenious smile on an angel’s face,
Tiny, capricious, impish.
Tiny, capricious, impish,
Perfect imitations of head prefects,
Nearly got caned for it,
Get your hands out of your pockets!
