I do recall, when I was at school.
It wasn’t very big at all.
My headmaster, spoke to my father.
He basically told my dad, in a meeting that we had.
That prior to, and now, but not beyond.
I was a big fish in a pond.
And when I leave it won’t be that way.
And here it is now, that present day.
Things have changed, it’s hard, I must say.
I need a job so that I can pay my way.
But I’m finding it hard because it’s a big old world.
And this may sound sexist but it’s easy for a girl.
You can call me a bigot or a chauvinist.
But if you want, I can write you a list.
A list of all the jobs a female can get more easily.
Without difficulty.
And so effortlessly.
And simply straightforwardly.
I’ve made my outlook clear and let them be heard.
That finding and getting a job is easier for a bird.
Now it may not be your outlook too.
But this is from my point of view.
I have to plan each day the day before.
In my head it’s like the law.
If I don’t, I get sick with worry and feel below par.
Like I’ve been struck by a speeding car.
I know I’ve got to take each day as it comes.
I know I’ve got to worry less instead of twiddling my thumbs.
So I used to rule, when I was at school.
I was a big fish in a pond, but that was just before.
It’s not that way anymore.
No, now I’m just a small fish in the sea.
And I’m thinking what’s happened to me.
I was a big fish in a pond, now I’m just a small fish in the sea.
And I’m thinking what next will I be.
