Tears In The Classroom

Graeham Goble
November 2nd, 1986

There were tears in the classroom of the teacher
Sparks from the bathroom of the house next door
Faces of people that were dripping with sweat
Giving lessons they would not forget

Away, away, allegory
Who needs the love of it all?
Every heart leaves a different story
Written on the classroom wall

I ran like a cheetah to the rescue
Hid in the bushes to conceal myself
I saw the witness running out the back gate
I called out to him, but just too late

Away, away, allegory
Who needs the love of it all?
Every heart leaves a different story
Written on the classroom wall

Tears in the classroom
Books getting burned
Thoughts without meaning
Lord, what have we learned?
Don't analyse it
Just spread the word
Try to disguise it
Don't repeat what you've heard

There were tears of the teacher in the classroom
Notes from the parents of the failed ones
Misunderstanding, from those who got through
They weren't qualified to know the truth

Away, away, allegory
Who needs the love of it all?
Every heart leaves a different story
Written on the classroom wall

So away, away, allegory
Who needs the love of it all?
Every heart leaves a different story
Written on the classroom wall

Tears in the classroom
Tears in the classroom (Tears in the classroom)
Tears in the classroom (Tears in the classroom)
Tears in the classroom

Tears in the classroom (Tears in the classroom)
Tears in the classroom (Tears in the classroom)
Tears in the classroom (Tears in the classroom)
