Lyrics The Housemartins

The Housemartins

There is Always Something There to Remind Me

The teacher's name was Charles

He 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 mustaches and glasses

While on the ruling classes

Drawing willies on soldiers

From Berlin to Damascus

It shouts out loud

I'm more than you, I'm more than you

It shouts out loud

I'm more than you, I'm 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 storm-troop the staffroom

And pinch his cans of beer?

It shouts out loud

I'm more than you, I'm more than you

It shouts out loud

I'm more than you, I'm more than you

There is always something there to remind me

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

And there is always something there to remind me of you

It shouts out loud

I'm more than you, I'm more than you

It shouts out loud

I'm more than you, I'm more than you

It shouts out loud
