Scorin ´ like a bandit till the bubble burst
|

Hey, guys! I ´ve found an amazing song ´Back to school ´ by the Four Tops, and I really want to use it in my class, but I can ´t understand the meaning of the phrase ´Scorin ´ like a bandit till the bubble burst ´
Here is the context: Spendin ´ my vacation in the summer sun
Gettin ´ lots of action, havin ´ lots of fun
Scorin ´ like a bandit till the bubble burst
Suddenly it got to be September first!
Woe is me....all summer long I was happy and free
Save my soul, the board of education took away my parole
Could you help me?

I know this may be hard to believe about teenagers on holiday, Eduard, but it just might have sexual overtones.
So, what do you think ´took away my parole ´ means, then? |

Well, I thought that ´took away my parole ´ meant that the board of education took away his freedom. Cause ´ parole ´ means a person will be let out of jail even though there is some of his/her sentence left to serve.

"Gettin ´ lots of action" means the same as "scorin". I don ´t think you want to use this song in class. I agree that the board taking away the parole is the fact that going back to school is the end of summer freedom. Bruce |

Yeah, I probably shouldn ´t use it in class. Bruce, Alex, thank you for your comments! :)
