TEACHERS
written by Leonard Cohen, arranged by the Sisters of Mercy
I met a man who lost his mind
In some lost place I had to find
Follow me the wise man said
But he walked behind
I walked into a hospital
Where none were sick and none was well,
When at night the Sisters left
I could not walk at all.
Some girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpals make.
Are you the teachers of my heart
We teach old hearts to break.
A met a woman long ago
Her hair the black the black can go
Are you the teacher of the heart?
Soft she whispered, no
I met a girl across the sea,
Her hair the gold that gold could be.
Are you the teacher of the heart?
Yes, but not for thee.
I spent my hatred every place,
On every work, on every face
Is my passion perfect,
No! Do it once again.
Oh teachers are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one,
They laughed and laughed and laughed and said,
Child are your lessons done?
I was handsome, I was strong,
I knew the words of every song
Did my singing please you?
No, the words you sang were wrong
The Sisters of Mercy are a British gothic rock band that emerged from the post-punk scene in the late 1970s. Founded in Leeds in 1980 by Andrew Eldritch (vocals), the group has undergone several lineup changes throughout its history, with Paul Hession (guitar) and Wayne Hussey (guitar) among the longest-serving members. Their sound, characterized by dark atmospheres, sinister melodies, and introspective lyrics, quickly propelled them into the British goth underground. In the mid-1980s, The Sisters of Mercy achieved significant commercial success with albums like *First and Last and Always* (1985) and *Vision Thing* (1987), which introduced their sound to a wider audience. Tracks such as «Temple of Love», «This Corrosion» and «Lucretia My Reflection» became classics of the gothic rock genre. After a series of disagreements with their record label, the group ceased releasing new material in 1990. Although they have had periods of inactivity, The Sisters of Mercy returned to live performances in the 1990s and have continued to record music sporadically. Their last studio album is *Floodland* (1987).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
