Clifford T Ward ... The Open University
Loading...
Uploaded by scalpsie on Mar 9, 2008
Back to the Homethoughts album and a really chirpy,cheery wee song although still with a serious lovelorn message.Ah well! Hope you enjoy!
Let me tell you 'bout a girl who's breaking my heart
She decided lately to get smart
She read an article that changed her life
So tired of working in a factory
She joined the Open University.
We used to have a lot of fun you know
Spend our money and away we'd go
But now whenever I go round to call
She's reading Lawrence and T. H. Huxley
With the Open University.
INSTRUMENTAL
She never cared for school - such a drag
Now she's qualification mad
She's corresponding like a politician
Her main objective is an arts degree
God help the Open University.

Cliff told me that songwriting is a craft. He was disappointed in later years that as he became a better songwriter his success rate diminished. Home Thoughts was his most successful album. Cliff could write a song about anything. Who else could write a song about the open university? Once again your video contribution makes the song more appealing and interesting! Two craftsmen in unison ... Clifford T and Scalpsie ... well done gentlemen

Had a girlfriend many moons ago who I related this song with, she used to be such fun then decided to make better of herself......didn't understand it then, but now she earns 60k a year!! Brilliant Clifford T. song, but then they all are, man was genius. Thanks again Scalpsie.
