lyrics

You were born in post-war England back in the year of 1955
Your family's been working for the council of watchers so there was no choice in your life
As a child you dreamt of being a fighter pilot or a grocer possibly
But then you realised that being a watcher is your calling, your very own destiny

Rupert Giles - tweed suit, intellectual glasses
Rupert Giles - technophobic multilingual and, well, a smart-ass

Studying history in Oxford was not your cup of tea and very fast you were annoyed
And in order to impress girls you told them that you were a founding member of The Pink Floyd
You were really quite the rebel, experimenting in dark arts and the rock music scene
But no more jeans and leather jackets when you started working at the British Museum

Rupert Giles...

Due to your encyclopaedic knowledge, affinity for magic and your ability to fight
The council told you to leave London for Sunnydale, CA just overnight
There you're working as a librarian at the local high school, but that's just your pretend work
In reality you're fighting evil with Buffy and Xander and with Willow Rosenberg

Rupert Giles...
