Van Der Graaf Generator

Embarrassing kid looks into the mirror
and grins like an idiot at his own face.
For as long he lives he will not be delivered
from the stuff that he did, from his teenage mistakes.
I can barely believe it
how I went and let the old school down.
Yeah, whatever can I have been thinking of?
Embarrassing kid, I squirm at the memory,
try to bang down the lid on the can of worms.
It remains pretty strange and uncomfortable territory
where my secrets are hidden, however absurd.
