Give a chance to peace
Sang hippies in the sixties,
Then we fought more wars
Then we fought more wars
So our children have futures
In which to wage war
In which to wage wars,
The U.S. developed tanks
The start of road rage
The start of road rage
When you overtook that car
At the roundabout.
'At the Roundabout'
Is a work dubiously
Said to be V. Woolf's
Said to be V. Woolf's
Those texts languish unpublished
No room of their own
No room of their own,
The African emigrees
Sleep on the doorsteps.
Sleep on the doorsteps
The postbox is my pillow
Marble my mattress
Marble, my mattress,
Is my softest, quiet friend
I ride him often
I ride him often
That stead with a turquoise mane
I call him "Nevermore"
I call him "Nevermore" ( 6?)
Though of course he always does
Learn to accept it
Learn to accept it:
Lemmings will never talk well.
That's the end of that.
That's the end of that
The fiddle strings are broken
The cat sings off key
The cat sings off key
He wails, singing his old song
Lonely but hopeful.
Lonely but hopeful
I wandered into the store
Seeking perfect shoes
Seeking perfect shoes?
Dire action may be required...
Like cutting off toes
Like cutting off toes,
is the thought of wearing the
same shoes all the time.
Same shoes all the time
Day in and day out the same
What an awful thought!
What an awful thought!
No more tigertail ice cream?
Only vanilla?
Only vanilla?
How bland and unexciting
Like daytime TV
