Graham Parker & the Rumour

The Rumour was an English rock band in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They are best known as the backup band for Graham Parker, whose early records (from 1976 to 1980) were credited to Graham Parker & The Rumour. However, The Rumour also recorded on their own, releasing three albums: Max (1977), Frogs, Sprouts, Clogs and Krauts (1979), and Purity of Essence (1980). The group broke up at the end of 1980, but reunited as Parker's backing band in 2011, and have performed and recorded with Parker ever since. The band undertook a short final UK tour in October 2015, finishing with a final concert at the London Forum on 17 October 2015. At this show, the surviving members of the horn section also reunited, for the first time in 33 years. more »

B E
I'm going back to schooldays to put them right

They tell me that it was like a film out here 
But it's a real horror show boys
They told me that it was all black and white
There's so many shades I can see boys
I'm going back to schooldays I'm going back to schooldays
I'm going back to schooldays to put them right

A E B
Ain't nobody wants to know you when you're down
A B
And everybody wants to lose you when you're found. 

Now if I think I might break even I might go home quietly
I'll marry a rich girl but otherwise 
I'm going to raise hell and rightly.
I'm going back to schooldays I'm going back to schooldays
I'm going back to schooldays to put them right

(instrumental verse with comments)
Shake it! Whew! Yeah! That's all right! 

Now if I seem just a might confused, Don't give me all of the blame boys
24 years just obeying the rules, No wonder I'm half-insane boys.

I'm going back to schooldays I'm going back to schooldays
I'm going back to schooldays to put them right
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm going back to schooldays I'm a-going back to schooldays
I'm going back to schooldays to put them right 
I'm going back to schooldays I'm a-going back to schooldays
I'm going back to schooldays to put them right 
(Fade on) To put them right yeah! To put them right huh!
