Self Pity

A bright and breezy boy of four

  I started life at school,

They kicked me out aged seventeen

  A lazy, worthless fool.

 

I never had a BMX,

  I never had a chopper,

I never had a hope in hell

  With Arabella Hopper.

That Arabella sounds like the sort of posh bird who wouldn't have been impressed with anything less than a Porsche. You're better off out of it Branwell.
