Apparently Deniz Tek wrote it whilst at school. I went to the same high school as him (35 years later) and the painting of the same name is still there. I have my own theories about the song relating to a teacher who was the head of classical languages (From what I can work out, he was there in the seventies till the nineties... could be earlier back to when Tek was there in '67, but I don't really have anyway of knowing). It came out in the late 90s that this teacher was a pedophile who had been taking advantage of young boys for years, he committed suicide soon after. I really could be stretching it but the line 'Plays with tiny children on his way home from work' and 'He's the top man in the language department' made me think of him straight away. If he was around when Tek was at the school, and had something to do with the school's rifle shooting team ('And his wonderful collection of guns') I'd be convinced. The chances are I'm just reading into it too much though. |
