University - Newsreview

One of the first parody songs I wrote and submitted to Newsrevue - and coincidentally one of the first I'm still waiting to hear back as to whether or not they liked it but hopefully you will.
It focuses (as if you can't guess) on the steadily yet irrepressibly rising tuition fees at university.

Obviously University not by McFly 

All my life I've been,
Hoping and dreaming
To get a degree,
And set myself free.
From parents.

I got good marks and
Thought this meant I would stand
A good chance to get
A place and be set
For life yeah

Been so many hikes now
I find myself wond’ring what I’ll do now.

University,
It’s out of my reach,
I'm wastin' my time
It’s just too high to climb
& I know I never will afford to study there.
No, no
Never could afford to study there.

Kinda lost hope now
I won’t get in now. No
Won’t get my day and won’t get to stay, for three years.

Clegg said he’d help me (Clegg said he’d help me)
So what good is an apology, oh.

No, no
Never could afford to study there.

It’s outta my hands
I don’t have a leg on to stand
Cos I can’t afford all the fees

Afford all the fees (afford, afford, afford the fees)
(can’t afford the fees) Can’t afford the fees

University,
It’s out of my reach,
I'm wastin' my time
It’s just too high to climb

I know I never will afford to study there.
