About This Track
This simple song makes use of keyboards, castanets, and a guitar break with a strong Beatles influence. The song includes a section of Hodgson “reeling off three- and four-syllable assonances” with a “schoolboy’s tongue in cheek”. Among the contemporary sound effects in this song are the ‘tackled’ sound from a Mattel digital football game, as well as the Trouble “Pop-o-matic” bubble - both popular at the time this song was released.
The lyrics are a “story of innocence and idealism lost” with Hodgson condemning an education system not focused on knowledge and sensitivity.
