lyrics

I regretted the fact
She was losing her trust in me
In short supply, under the ceiling

They laughed at that
Crowded into the basement
They couldn't remember the feeling

I saw her hesitate
Right outside my kitchen window
My shovel was never seen again

I left it to fate
And didn't mention we were partners
I know what it means to count to ten

You were a great teacher
But at what cost
It's over now but when I think of you
Dreaming of more than one sheep
I stroke my beard
The one you used to mock
It was your place to tell me that
I must have fallen fallen asleep

No-one in sight
After all my hard work
What do you mean, it's a test

She gave up the fight
Not easily controllable
A mechanism made in jest

The capacitor was drained
Why is she moving this way
I scramble to safety this time

My voice was strained
I tried to make it sound casual
But felt like I was sucking a lime

You were a great teacher
But at what cost
It's over now but when I think of you
Dreaming of more than one sheep
I stroke my beard
The one you used to mock
It was your place to tell me that
I must have fallen asleep

You were a great teacher
But at what cost
It's over now but when I think of you
Dreaming of more than one sheep
I stroke my beard
The one you used to mock
It was your place to tell me that
I must have fallen asleep

Fallen asleep

Cro Magnox
by Ceephax Acid Crew

supported by 17 fans who also own “You Were A Great Teacher”

Came for the art, stayed for the music. This is more story-driven album by Ceephx Acid Crew. The sounds feel like electricity bouncing around and coursing through you. The pointy waveforms are given a loving touch of reverb and other FX that create a wide & full soundscape rather distinct in this artist's catalog. Johann Theo
