    Lyrics:
    Young teacher, the subject
    Of schoolgirl fantasy
    She wants him so badly
    Knows what she wants to be
    Inside her there's longing
    This girl's an open page
    Book marking, she's so close now
    This girl is half his age
    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    Her friends are so jealous
    You know how bad girls get
    Sometimes it's not so easy
    To be the teacher's pet
    Temptation, frustration
    So bad it makes him cry
    Wet bus stop, she's waiting
    His car is warm and dry
    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    Loose talk in the classroom
    To hurt they try and try
    Strong words in the staffroom
    The accusations fly
    It's no use, he sees her
    He starts to shake and cough
    Just like the old man in
    That book by Nabokov
    Don't stand so close to me
    Please don't stand so close to me

      I did. I distinctly remember saying that in 41 years we'd all be watching a Christmas video of this song on our tiny hand-held computers with high definition video screens while walking around sipping $6 coffees. Of course I think I was six then, so nobody believed me. Well, who's laughing now? I am, because that video is silly. But who thought this concept was a good idea? It's fun and all, but what the hell?

Stories about bad people (Macbeth, Moby Dick, Silence of the Lambs) are the salt of literature. That is, unless you take fiction personally, and think only stories about "good" people should be told.
