Public Affection - The Hands Of A Teacher Lyrics

Public Affection Lyrics

"The Hands Of A Teacher"

Optimism
Optimism perished from the face of my earth
And then you came along, came along and swept me away
She kissed me, as we stood on the edge
The night made the day as we made for the bridge
It started raining hard, and I saw we may live to regret

No, I never really understood
No, I never really understood why
Because I've never been given
Never been given two tries
No, I never really understood
Understood why

Pessimism
Pessimism perished from the face of my earth
And then you came along, came along and swept me away
Did you miss me? Did you miss me as we walked
Through the pain
Attached the chain
So you could see me again?
I started asking myself, did I teach you right?

No, I never really understood
No, I never really understood why
Because I've never been given
Never been given two tries
No, I never really understood
Understood why

Understood why
You came to me
You broke the bonds
You set me free
And then the love that you promised me
Came a tumbling tumbling tumbling down
Into my hands

No, I never really understood
No, I never really understood why
Because I've never been given
Never been given two tries
No, I never really understood
Understood why

So teacher teach me
