Lyrics
Goodbye Mr. A
There's a hole in your logic
You who know all the answers (oh-oh-oh-oh)
You claim science ain't magic (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And expect me to buy it
Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch
If life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up
So busy showing me where I'm wrong
You forgot to switch your feelings on, (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So, so superior, are you not
You love a little bit but you forgot
Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch
If life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up
Goodbye Mr. A
Goodbye Mr. A
Goodbye Mr. A
The world was full of wonder until you opened my eyes
Goodbye Mr. A
Wish you hadn't blown my mind and killed the surprise
Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch
Your life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up

This was written in memory of frontman Irwin Sparkes' secondary school English teacher, Jonathan "Mr. A" Anderton. Sparkes said he was inspired to write the song upon hearing of Anderton's death in 2006. Many of the lyrics such as: "So busy showing me where I'm wrong - you forgot to switch your feelings on...", were reflective of Anderton's personality as a teacher. Anderton requested his students call him "Mr. A", as he disliked being called "Mr. Anderton". It is from this that the song's title stems.

I just realised that the whole "Goodbye Mr. A" thing is a play on words. Think about it; "Mr. A" sounds like "mystery", and the lyrics like "you had all the answers but you knew too much", "the world was full of wonder till you opened my eyes", and "wish you hadn't blown my mind and killed the surprise".

It's funny how trends move on. About 8 years ago when I was in school I couldn't go anywhere without hearing this song. Now it's as if the band never even existed, I'm only here because I saw it in the suggestion bar.

First time I heard this song I was about 7 or 8, my big brothers played a lot of fifa and would hear music from the fifa soundtrack. Simpler times, good times. Great while it lasted Iām 20 now almost 21 and reliving all those precious memories ā¤ļø

I feel like Mr. A is just symbolism for adults. They bring children down to earth and the kids start to lose that magical feeling about life

As an American from Indiana....the story of how this band got their name kinda warms my heart. We're glad you spent some time together in our great state. We hope you had a good time while you were here!

I actually discovered both this song and philosophy tube at around the same time, and it was super surreal seeing these two totally disparate elements of my cultural experience come together in that most wonderful way that only Olly can deliver

I feel like this is one of those songs that you hear when you're younger and have no idea what it's called, and then you stumble across it 10 years later.
