Jethro Tull – Teacher lyrics

Teacher

Well, the dawn was coming, heard him ringing on my bell
He said, "My name's the Teacher - or that is what I call myself
And I have a lesson that I must impart to you
It's an old expression, but I must insist it's true
Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun
No sense in sitting there hating everyone
No man's an island and his castle isn't home
The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown."

So, I took a journey, threw my world into the sea
With me went the Teacher who found fun instead of me
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
What I was looking for, got something on my mind

Then the Teacher told me it had been a lot of fun
Thanked me for his ticket and all that I had done
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
What I was looking for, got something on my mind
