Pink Floyd - The Happiest Days Of Our Lives Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
The Wall Released:
1979 You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
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
Writer/s: WATERS, ROGER

LyricFindThe Happiest Days Of Our Lives This leads directly into "Another Brick In The Wall (part II)" on the album, and radio stations usually play them together. "Another Brick In The Wall (part 2)" starts too abruptly for most desirable radio play, as opposed to this song which starts with the hum of a helicopter, which sounds rather nifty on a decent sound system. This also leads into "Another Brick In The Wall (part 2) on Echoes, their greatest hits album. (thanks, Matt - Russell Springs, KY, for above 2) In the DVD commentary for the movie version of The Wall, Roger Waters explained that the scene with the teacher and his wife was symbolic of a lack of communication and pointed out that the teacher took out his frustrations on the students. In the movie, when the teacher grabs Pink's little black book of poems, the one he quotes is their earlier hit "Money." Also in the commentary, Waters admits to having a lot of teachers like the one we see punishing Pink. (thanks, Ales - Rialto, CA)
