The Headmaster Ritual Belligerent ghouls Run Manchester schools Spineless swines Cemented minds Sir leads the troops Jealous of youth Same old suit since 1962 He does the military two-step Down the nape of my neck I want to go home I don't want to stay Give up education as a bad mistake Mid-week on the playing fields Sir thwacks you on the knees Knees you in the groin Elbow in the face Bruises bigger than dinner plates I want to go home I don't want to stay Belligerent ghouls Run Manchester schools Spineless bastards, all Sir leads the troops Jealous of youth Same old jokes since nineteen-two He does the military two-step Down the nape of my neck I want to go home I don't want to stay Give up life as a bad mistake Please excuse me from gym I've got this terrible cold coming on He grabs and devours He kicks me in the showers Kicks me in the showers And he grabs and devours I want to go home I don't want to stay

• 라디오헤드의 커버 버전이 유명하다. 조니 마는 이 커버에 대해 훌륭한 커버라고 칭찬하였다.

• 네덜란드에서 싱글컷 되었다.
