Bio

I run a band playing covers, and play bass

Lyrics

Teacher plays a complex game
He talks of theories quite insane
I listen to the storyboard
But all I hear is much discord

I ask him which way should I go
He finds it hard to tell me though
We can only guess the route
And he says he will follow suit

Fighting his fires, shining his shoes
Filling my head with nothing to lose
Preaching his ways, but leaving no clues
He’s filling my head with nothing to lose

Teacher man, I wanted to say
Ah….ah ah….ah ah
But teacher man, at the end of the day
Ah….ah ah….ah ah

He tells me he is too unsung
I really feel he’s highly strung
We share the past, we note the now
The future picture clouds somehow

Fighting his fires, shining his shoes
Filling my head with nothing to lose
Preaching his ways, but leaving no clues
He’s filling my head with nothing to lose

Teacher man, I wanted to say
Ah….ah ah….ah ah
But teacher man, at the end of the day
Ah….ah ah….ah ah

Teacher man, I wanted to say
Ah….ah ah….ah ah
But teacher man, at the end of the day
Ah….ah ah….ah ah
