Schoolboys in Disgrace
or
The Kinks Present
Schoolboys in Disgrace
is a
1975 album
by
The Kinks.
According to the
back cover liner notes,
the story which
the album presents
is as follows:
Once upon a time there was
a naughty little schoolboy.
He and his gang were always
playing tricks on the teachers
and bullying
other children in the school.
One day he got himself
into very serious trouble
with a naughty schoolgirl
and he was sent to
the Headmaster who decided
to disgrace the naughty boy
and his gang in front
of the whole school.
After this punishment
the boy turned into a
hard and bitter character.
Perhaps it was not
the punishment that
changed him but the fact
that he released people
in authority would always be
there to kick him down
and the
Establishment would
always put him in his place.
He knew that he
could not change
the past but he vowed that
in the future
he would always
get what he wanted.
The naughty
little boy grew up
... into Mr Flash.
Mr Flash
was the name
of the villain
from
The Kinks'
rock opera
Preservation
released as
Preservation Act 1
and
Preservation Act 2
The front cover was
illustrated by
Mickey Finn of T. Rex.
