the teachers are afraid of the pupils

• öğretmenlik stajım boyunca uyandığım her sabah aklıma düşen karanlık morrissey kaydı. bende sorrow will come in the end'in ardından dinleme isteği uyandıran ve fazla gerçek+fazla derin sözleri ve müziğiyle öğretmenlik kurumuna yaptığı ağır eleştiriyle akıllarda yer eden, '95 çıkışlı southpaw grammar'ın açılış parçası.
• ...okul uzerine morrissey:
  "i went to severe schools, working class schools, where they would almost chop your fingers off for your own good, and if you missed church on sunday and went to school on a monday and they quizzed you on it, you'd be sent to the gallows. it was like 'brush you teeth now or you will die in hell and you will rot and all these snakes will eat you'. and i remember all these religious figures, statues, which used to petrify every living child. all these snakes trodden underfoot and blood everywhere. i thought it was so morbid."

• kasvetli girisini, tastamam tamamtas, sostakovic'in besinci senfonisinden (birinci bolum^*) odunc alan morrissey sarkisi.
  sostakovic, polit-babalari memnun eder gibi gorunup yine de bildigini okuyan, hileli senfoninin programini soyle ozetlemis: "bir adamin kisiliginin olusmasi; yasadigi her seyle beraber, hayatin basindan sonuna." adamin sefil omrunu -sozde- tatliya baglayan son bolumle^* ilgili olarak da: "biri (mesela, stalin?) kafaniza sopayla vura vura 'mutlu olsana, mutlu olsana', diye tekrarliyor; eh, sonunda siz de 'mutluyum, mutluyum', diye mirildanmaya basliyorsunuz."
  birinci bolum cocuklukla basliyor, herhalde. sostakovic ve stalin, cocuklar ve ogretmenler. kafasina vura vura.^* (sostakovic bir tarafa, fakat esasinda cocuklar da oyle masum, melek vb degil, hic degil. bana ne yahu, topunun... her neyse.)

• en görkemli morrissey eserlerinden biri. sözleri der ki:
  
  "there's too many people
  planning your downfall
  when your spirit's on trial
  these nights can be frightening
  sleep transports sadness
  to some other mid-brain
  and somebody here
  will not be here next year
  so you stand by the board
  full of fear and intention
  and, if you think that they're listening
  well, you've got to be joking
  oh, you understand change
  and you think it's essential
  but when your profession
  is humiliation
  say the wrong word to our children ...
  we'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you
  lay a hand on our children
  and it's never too late to have you
  mucus on your collar
  a nail up through the staff chair
  a blade in your soap
  and you cry into your pillow
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  say the wrong word to our children ...
  we'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you
  lay a hand on our children
  and it's never too late to have you
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  to be finished would be a relief
  i'm very glad the spring has come
  the sun shines out so bright
  all the birds that are on the trees
  are singing for delight"
