The Teacher Lyrics by John MOuse

The Death of John MOuse

2014

[Verse 1]
Teacher was religious man
So when I lent him my Johnny Cash CD
And he listened to it that night
And he saw me the following morning
When I was giving him his Bed, Bath and [?]
He said to me
"I didn't realise how much faith Johnny Cash had"
I didn't ask him if he liked the CD, and took his response as positive

[Verse 2]
He taught in a Welsh school, on the outskirts of Swansea
He was a big man
Took two men to roll him [?]
The teacher was a headmaster, a religious man
And boast a surly male voice
The buzzer went, I looked at the [?] oppositе
She buried her hеad in her paperwork
I get off my stool, pushed the staff rota to the side
And tried to [?] the first four [?]

[Verse 3]
The red light was flashing above the teacher's head
"Are you alright?" I asked
He just shook his
I pulled the curtains around his bed
[?]
The Millennium Stadium, St. Davids Hall, the Millennium Centre

[Verse 4]
He pulled back the blanket, his white sheets were soaked in [?]
I told him he would be okay and went to see the staff
She put a call up to a house officer
I didn't see him arrive my shift ended at nine
The following morning, during handover
The night nurse informed us the teacher died five-thirty in the morning
Severe blood loss from the haemorrhage

[Verse 5]
My second job of the morning, after feeding patients breakfast
Was to clear away the teacher's belongings
I put into the NHS issued plastic bag, a pair of navy blue slippers; [?]; three pairs of pajamas; one dressing gown; two bags of boiled sweets, unopened; one tub of Sudocrem, opened
I searched the rest of his locker, but I couldn't find his personal CD player
Or my Johnny Cash album
I knew the relatives would have to come back and collect the rest of his belongings
So my job performance levels faltered for the rest of the shift
As I tried to figure out the most empathetic way
Of asking the family of the teacher for my "American Recordings" volume too
