The Housemartins - There Is Always Something There To Remind Me

Teacher's name was Charles
Made me feel like jack
Thought Martin was late
Cause he sat right at the back
Thought my name was Peter
The time that I was there
I told him it was Paul
But he didn't seem to care

Drawing moustaches and glasses
On the ruling classes
Drawing willies on soldiers
From Berlin to Damascus

It shouts out loud:
"I've more than you
I've more than you"

It shouts out loud:
"I've more than you
I've more than you"

Making bombs in chemistry
And catapults in craft
He thought I must be far too
Down for this class
He even told the caretaker
I didn't want to pass
And he agreed he'd seen me
Cutting 'cross his grass

Would he keep all the marbles
He'd taken in that year?
Would we stormtroop the staffroom
And pinch his cans of beer? It shouts out loud:
"I've more than you
I've more than you"

It shouts out loud:
"I've more than you
I've more than you"

There is always something there to remind me
Of something that I should've left behind me
It taps you on the shoulder in a queue
It shouts across the street, "I've more than you"
There is always something there to remind me
Of you

It shouts out loud:
"I've more than you
I've more than you"

It shouts out loud:
"I've more than you
I've more than you"

It shouts out loud
