In madness lies
The ambition of my passion
(In my testimony, the understanding of myself as an artist)
ย
I'm always worried about my friend Joseph
I'm always worried my beer is getting warm
And I'm always worried about my friend when I ask her
I'm always worried, and they call it
University of Life
University of Life
(It's the University of Life)
University of Life
(The University of Life)
University
ย
And whether I'll make it, and become a substantial cultural figure
And whether I'll farm a series of organically-branded crops now or later
And whether a star is really born, or whether it's just the weather
Or whether an artist is truly spectacular, or whether it's down to a mother
ย
University of Life
(University of Life)
University of Life
(University of Life)
(It's the university of life!)
University of Life
(It's the University)
(It's the university of life!)
(It's the University)
University of Life
(It's the University)
And whether I've been talking for too long now
And whether you'd like to hear less of me
But I can't stop talking for ten seconds
Otherwise you'll forget me
And maybe, I don't want to see any more of you either
Or maybe, it's just the fact that no one will countenance
The word 'precision' used to describe a melody
Or the precision with which I've erased myself indefinitely
(University of Life!) University of Life (University of Life)
(Sort your life out!) University of Life
(University of Life)
(University of Life, mate!) University of life
(Just gotta get over it, haven't you? Yeah, just gotta get over it!) (University of Life)
You've just got to get over it, haven't you?
University of Life (It's University)
No, it's the other one
Just take the other way
Out of the palace
And back onto the motorway
(And when are you good enough?)
(University of Life) University of Life
(It's...)
University of Life
(It's...)
University of Life
(It's...)
University of Life
She's in her room, painting henna
Over stab wounds, patent leather
He's in Fresno, lacking conduct
She's in Shadwell, doing sit-ups
University of Life
(University of Life)
(It's the University of Life)
The University of Life
(University of Life) (It's the University of Life)
The University of Life (University of Life, mate!)
(University)
I'm studying!
There's a hero at the bottom
Of the well, and there it's zero
Two more midnights, three more chapsticks
Nine more Mondays, Teesside Tin-Tin
You're up first, and I come second
Gravity is grace and beckons
You've got berries, I've got hot hands
I've got blushes red as capstands
Downwind, slowly, she unravels
All her shirts and chews the gravel
Sun goes down and breaks an hiccup
Brown my Sunday, now the fun's up
Twisted vapors, dirty quizzlers
Angry sons and rowdy sisters
Cursed vultures, quiet blackbirds
Tonal vapids, Bud Lites, Stella's
Oh, when
When will I get my grades?
Yesterday, I saw the picture you took in December
The winter I first saw a woman
I owe you a visit and yet I've grown cold
And this morning, she woke up and saw I was young
And I know I'll go back
'Cause I never get wise
The circle is patience, but patience disguised
So I don't give a fuck if the cellos remind you of bells
She painted us dancing as bodies
With organs and kidneys
Don't kid me
But luck, he's not with me
And neither will you be when I reach the door
And I'm losing my edge
And I'm sharpening my tools
I've made it, I've made it
I'm already there
And the knowledge must comfort
The pressure must too
And the bag with the sequins is cheap
And your eyelash is busted
And everything's telling me
What you don't swallow, you will have to chew
ย
Oh God, it's happened again
How could I have been such a fool?
That's not a blackboard!
That's a black hole!
This isn't the University of Life
This is the University of You!
All along, you knew
This is the University of You!

Big boy now
I'm a big boy now
Big boy, how?
I'm a big boy now
Big boy now
I'm a big boy now
Big boy, how?
I'm a big boy now
Big boy now
I'm a big boy now
Big boy, how?
I'm a big boy now
Big boy now
I'm a big boy now
I'm a big boy, how?
Big boy now
Big boy now
Big boy now
I'm a big boy now
Look at me, a big boy, how?
Big boy now
Big boy, how?
How did I get so big?
'Cause I'm a big boy now
Yes, a big boy, how?
I was a big boy now
But I'm a big boy now
Oh, if you're big
Then you just gotta sing
