Going back to Pink Floyd
The fact that they sing, 'We don't need no education,' suggests to me that they do. Or are they being ironic?
Am I thinking too much?

The thoughts of me and my dog who used to be Harvey, but is now George, who is Harvey's great-great-great-great-nephew.

I had to stop reading at one point ... as I was laughing too much to see the words!

That is the charm of This Time Next Year by Liz Hinds. You want to go shopping with Aliss and her friends, help her sort out her relationships, and throttle her son--oops!
K. Sharman
It is a great read. Made me laugh and cry.

...We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom...
Anti-authoritarian, I would say :-)
Best not to over think most lyrics Liz!
Lyrics often misconstrued... but in this case it was massive irony, it was about the appalling treatment Roger Waters suffered when at school - however many would say it was never a problem for them etc. and he did end up a multimillionaire so...
Personally - apart from Comfortably Numb (a song any addict will relate to) I never rated the Wall - Animals was their best I always thought
Lyrics now changed to 'We don't need no beach bike hut' ;-)
I agree with jams.
Perhaps a little ironic, Liz. Well done Wales, yes?
