Here's an old song of mine, recorded with my band, Plastic Jeezus, the other night. It's usually got a twinkly little intro but I hit the wrong pedal and it made me laugh, so I kept it in. Hope you like it!

Primary School Careers Advisor

The lyrics, if you're interested, are...

"When I grow up I want to be a pirate,
With a cutlass and a patch over my eye.
I'd be the scourge of the seven seas
And everyone would turn and flee
When they saw my pirate galleon go by."

But the primary school careers advisor said
"Son - you'd better listen to me.
Despite what you believe,
There's only so much you can achieve.
You'd better start living realistically."
So I said...

"Fine...
When I grow up I wanna be a secret agent
Like Ilya Kouriakin or James Bond.
I'd be a top international spy,
I'd always get the bad guy
And I'd sleep with all the ladies that I want."

But the primary school careers advisor said
"Son - you'd better listen to me.
Despite what you believe,
There's only so much you can achieve.
You'd better start living realistically."

I went down to the shopping centre
To see if I could see my future.
When I was there I saw a guy
In a green waist-coast and a smart green tie
And suddenly it dawned on me
That I'd just seen my destiny.

Now when I grow up I want to work at Asda.
Pushing trollies in the rain
For minimum wage.
I'll start work at the crack of dawn,
I'll look dashing in my uniform,
And I'll work there til I reach retirement age.

Very cool. I like the view point! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
