Story Behind the Song
In our younger days we often did things we shouldn't, and didn't do things we should have - ain't hindsight a wonderful thing!
Lyrics
AFTER SCHOOL
Smoking, fighting, kissing, feeling,
hiding in the toilet block.
Chasing, catching, falling, bleeding,
running out of luck.
A schoolyard full of future heros
all dying to explode,
each mornin' man we'd light the fuse
and just wait for it to blow.
CHO Let's settle the score
cut the crap
just me 'n you -
I'll meet ya babe around the back
after school.
By dual exhaust and alloy wheels
we'd sit 'n drink 'n laugh
as the whole damn' world became unreal
we got the guts to call its bluff.
Then in a convoy of steel and chrome
dragons breathing fire,
'round midnight man we'd all run home
empty handed, sick 'n tired.
BRI On weekends we'd cruise Highway 1
pull over at a beach
makin' jokes about the gorgeous girls
who all stayed out of reach.
If I'd known then what I know now
I'd have known just what to do
That time ya met me 'round the back
- after school.
