Not a great favourite with the fans this one. It was basically a little effort knocked together during a particularly boring Geography lesson. The teacher in question being the late great Peter Drinkwater.

Whilst he was actually quite a nice chap he was somewhat boring. So boring in fact that Dobba spent most Geography lessons drawing sketches of WW1 German battleships and developing his rival language to Esperanto, Toopvaarian.

The song is noteworthy for its musical composition. It starts slowly, plodding almost, before launching into a thrash metal style finale. It was never really intended to put this track on the finished album but the lads liked it so it stayed.

SMS Derflinger seen in 1914, Dobba probably drew this ship in his Geography note book.

Sadly the Derflinger (great name or what) was scuttled at Scapa Flow in 1919. Can you tell I'm struggling to find pictures to adequately illustrate this song.

I know an old Geography teacher
His memory's starting to grow
He tries to impart to us knowledge
But his lessons are awfully slow

He is a Conservative councillor
And this takes up much of his time
Da da da da da da da da da
I can't think of owt else to rhyme

(Fast)
His memory's starting to grow
He tries to impart to us knowledge
But his lessons are awfully slow

He is a Conservative councillor
And this takes up much of his time
Da da da da da da da da da
I can't think of f**k all else to rhyme

SMS Schleswig Holstein. Interestingly after surviving WW1 the Schleswig Holstein fired some of the first shots of WW2 when it was used to bombard Polish positions on the Westerplatte in the free city of Danzig (now the port of Gdansk in Poland). See you never expected a history lesson on this web site did you.
