This song, by the British rock group Supertramp, while it’s a good tune melodically, is criticizing conservative thought (in this case, the type of thought one learns at boarding school in the UK). After all, one cannot be sensible and logical! How horrible! Oh, those teachers are cruel! (Actually, today’s teachers are all commies, so he must have gone to a really old-timey boarding school in the 1950s).
Some of the lyrics:
“But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, oh responsible, practical; And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable…”
Jeepers! Not dependability!! You could end up becoming an accountant and living in the suburbs with 2.3 kids. Heavens! Like on “Leave It To Beaver”!
