Jethro Tull - Teacher lyrics

Well the dawn was coming,<br>Heard him ringing on my bell.<br>He said, ``my name's the teacher,<br>That is what I call myself.<br>And I have a lesson<br>That I must impart to you.<br>It's an old expression<br>But I must insist it's true.<br>Jump up, look around,<br>Find yourself some fun,<br>No sense in sitting there hating everyone.<br>No man's an island and his castle isn't home,<br>The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown.''<br><br>So I took a journey,<br>Threw my world into the sea.<br>With me went the teacher<br>Who found fun instead of me.<br><br>Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? <br>Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.<br>I try to socialize but I can't seem to find<br>What I was looking for, got something on my mind.<br><br>Then the teacher told me<br>It had been a lot of fun.<br>Thanked me for his ticket<br>And all that I had done.<br><br>Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? <br>Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.<br>I try to socialize but I can't seem to find<br>What I was looking for, got something on my mind.
