The specials.
The song "Rat race" reminds me of what some of the other students were like when I was at a grammar school sixth form.

"You plan your conversation to impress the college bar
Just talking about your mother and daddy's Jaguar
Wear your political T-shirt and sacred college scarf
Discussing the world situation, but just for a laugh
"

Wintersun's "Death and the healing"
Song that general just feels right when Im in a low/thoughtful mood. Everything about the song is just generally awesome. *Has it on now*

Rat Race
My brother went to France on a school trip. When he returned he had bought me Rat Race/Rude Boys Outta Jail on a French picture sleeve - I think marked with the Chrysalis Records logo more prominent than 2-Tone.

It was my very own French import - doesn't seem much by today's standards, but to me, a record from a foreign country such as France was gold dust. I'd been to the Isle of Man, but never overseas.

I still have it in the loft somewhere. I'll try and get it down and give it a blast on my 45/33rpm player.

I feel sad though now, for my lost youth I would love to regain!

I think you should get it down and have a good groove to it :)

Isn't that what all students are like?
