Mr. School Psychology

The Devotchkas

Sitting in his office behind his desk
Got a Harvard badge on the wall
And he thinks he's the best
A smile on his face to seem like he cares
Just another troubled youth holding back her tears

What do you see when you're looking at me,
Mr. School Psychology?
You haven't said nothing to make me see,
Mr. School Psychology!
Psychology
Psychology, oi!

He brings you inside as he closes the door
Just another statistic to even the score
He asks his question, he asks you to reply
When its all said and done
It's you who feels defied

What do you see when you're looking at me,
Mr. School Psychology?
You haven't said nothing to make me see,
Mr. School Psychology!
Psychology
Psychology, oi!

Went to school, day after day
Got plenty of looks, but they got nothing to say
Plenty of friends known years ago
No longer speak to you
Cos you're not part of the show

What do you see when you're looking at me,
Mr. School Psychology?
You haven't said nothing to make me see,
Mr. School Psychology!

Mister, yeah Mr. School
Mister, yeah Mr. School
Mister, yeah Mr. School
MISTER SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY-
FUCK YOU!

    I can't believe people have forgotten about the Devotchkas just because they broke up. This song is about being lonely and being called to talk to a counsellor (which has happened way too many times to me) and him thinking that just because he has diplomas all over his walls he can solve all your problems and shove his nose into your personal life, although that only makes him look like a dick, which most of them are. And then everybody looks at you funny as though you have some identity disorder or you're suicidal (which happens a lot too) and then everybody knows about the problems you have. After that your friends don't want to talk to you because they believe you've betrayed them. Well, Mr. School Psychology is a really good song if you're into fast street punk rock, and you like girl vocals.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
