Um. My school life was very like that. Oh, it was awful, it was really terrible. When I hear people whining on now about bringing back Grammar schools it really makes me quite ill to listen to it. Because I went to a boys' Grammar school and although... I want to make it plain that some of the men who taught (it was a boys school) some of the men who taught there were very nice guys, you know I'm not... it's not meant to be a blanket condemnation of teachers everywhere, but the *bad* ones can really do people in—-and there were some at my school who were just incredibly bad and treated the children so badly, just putting them down, putting them down, you know, all the time. Never encouraging them to do things, not really trying to interest them in anything, just trying to keep them quiet and still, and crush them into the right shape, so that they would go to university and do well

The Happiest Days of Our Lives

ובכן זהו שיר שכתב רוג'ר שמדבר בעצם על החינוך הבריטי הקפדני - אותו חינוך שמהווה עוד לבנה בחומת האנטי שנבנתה אצל פינק - התת מודע של רוג'ר ווטרס יקירנו עצמו - אבל אני מפציר בכם תקראו את המילים שהוא כתב - האין זו מערכת החינוך שלנו - כאן בארץ הקודש.....

מילים:

When we grew up and went to school

There were certain teachers who would

Hurt the children in any way they could

By pouring their derision

Upon anything we did

And exposing every weakness

However carefully hidden by the kids

But in the town, it was well known

When they got home at night, their fat and

Psychopathic wives would thrash them

Within inches of their lives.
(רוג'ר ווטרס)

ועכשיו אחרי ששמעתם ונחתכתם כך לפתע כי בעצם מוזיקלית הוא מחובר לקטע הבא - אבל בכוונה הבאתי לכם את זה ככה קשה - כי ביננו הציפיה זה השוס האמיתי - והגשמתה (בימים הקרובים) היא הדובדבן שבקצפת - אז טעימה כואבת לכם אנשי הכלוב 😉
