No More Mr Bay City Roller

Tartan-trimmed terrors in the playground,
Girls with that red mohican hair,
Glitter paint, punk rockers to be

Into Bowie, and glam, and Quo, anything
But 14-year-old boys with a
Doubtful grasp of their sexuality

Out at the weekend with the senior crew
Watching X-rated horrors
drinking and getting stoned

Standing Mondays once more in the line
for History class and sneering
At the little men they've outgrown
