Making Your Mind Up O/T

[MargateFan]

I only wish that we had not chosen someone who looks a bit dodgy to do our song.

What on earth is the thing with schoolgirls in gymslips about?

[Cookie]

The title is called "Teenage Life" June. All about the kids at school etc.Hence the girls. A bit of a hopeful sway for the judges methinks(wont work) & a gimmick. But to be fair it does tie in with the title and the lyrics.Trouble is only WE will understand it.l.o.l.

By the by its already known that he has had some bad habits in the past.I think he's done time too(not 100% sure on that though).

I also believe this is HIS song and he's trying something different. Different it sure is but win? No,I doubt it!

I'll post the words of the song in a moment.

And here they are!

 

The UK Entry

 

Daz Sampson is representing the UK this year. His song is called Teenage Life. Check out the lyrics!

 

Teenage Life

 

Now hear this

 

"What did you learn at school today?"

That's what the teachers used to say

But they don't know

Don't understand, do they

Why do they always give advice

Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"

When it's been a long since they had a teenage life

 

"What did you learn at school today?"

That's what the teachers used to say

But they don't know

Don't understand, do they

Why do they always give advice

Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"

When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life

 

Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young

Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song

Classroom schemes and dreams

Man they couldn't save me

Cos my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy

Teenage kicks running out what could we do

I still show respect to my boys who made it through

And getting told off Mr T how my life would be

Then giving him a signal

So everyone could see

Sunshine and shade

Those girls I'd serenade

Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave

Hoping that those days would go on and on forever

Every day something new

Just friends running together

But suddenly school ends

Your teenage life gone

All your mates are growing up now

They're moving on

And now I'm looking back

I'll tell you what I know

Do you listen to your teacher?

No I don't think so

 

"What did you learn at school today?"

That's what the teachers used to say

But they don't know

Don't understand

Do they

Why do they always give advice

Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"

When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life

 

 

Now if you treat the kids fine, together they will shine

Ooh ooh ooh shine

And if you give the kids time, they won't do the crime

Won't do the crime

 

Now my bad old ways

Were during my school days

Messing on those grade A's

My life is just a haze

I'm going through the struggle

Five ten and kicking back

So I could lock my flow

Lace it up now on the track

Oh yeh I felt the pain

Whilst chasing all the fame

I'm being told I'm nothing

Just a player in the game

But now I walk tall

Stand proud for you to see

I'm driving these fast cars

It's five stars for me

 

"What did you learn at school today?"

That's what the teachers used to say

But they don't know

Don't understand, do they?

Why do they always give advice

Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"

When it's been a long since they had a teenage life

Have let Gary Glitter out on probation

[Cookie]

Probably Alex,Probably.If he's got enough money he may well have been.

 

[MargateFan]

Dodgy gimmick, and rubbish song. Well, I would not vote for it.

[jkmaskell]

Daz Simpson (UK entrant) was involved with the song "Kung Fu Fighting" and a version of "Rhinestone Cowboy"!

[Chris1]

Isn't there a basic flaw in those lyrics? "What did you learn at school today?" would be something parents used to say, not teachers.

It certainly HAS already caused a stir amongst the public apparently. Some wanted it banned!

[seasidesteve]

total crap the whole bloody thing

[TonyM]

At last,SSS,if you had not said it,I would have done,well done.

[Cookie]

Oh come on Tone.Its only bit of fun. Something to be going on with whilst the football is scarce.How about you & Steve thinking up another topic then to talk about.Maybe that will be as crap as this one seems to be with you & Steve & quite a few others I should imagine.

Its a talking point & thats what the thread is about.No-ones taking it THAT seriously except for me of course l.o.l.. I JUST LOVE THE SHOW!!!LOVE IT!!

You do have a choice,both of you,NOT to enter into the discussion and fun of it all.

Come on now its topic for conversation thats all.

[MFC Forever]

The fact that some of it is rubbish is why it is so good fun to watch! Can't see our entry doing too well though, but usually we get some points from Ireland!
