"Only To Be Expected"

"Only To Be Expected"



All-time low the weatherman said
I don't need him to tell me that I know
There's a heavy pressure building
And over all the earth I feel it grow.

It's only to be expected
When we poison the water, when we poison the air
Only to be expected
When we communicate hate everywhere
Only to be expected
When we're way out of sync with Nature's way
We're only interested if it pay.

Boys and girls in every land
Go hungry even now, in lines they stand
Food is burnt to balance banks
And taxes go to buy missiles and tanks.

It's only to be expected
When we poison the water, when we poison the air
Only to be expected
When we communicate hate everywhere
Only to be expected
When we're way out of sync with Nature's way
We're only interested if it pay.

Only to be expected
When we poison the water, when we poison the air
Only to be expected
When we communicate hate everywhere
Only to be expected
When we're way out of sync with Nature's way.

Only to be expected
When we poison the water, when we poison the air
Only to be expected
When we communicate hate everywhere
Only to be expected

"People Call Me Pied Piper"

"People Call Me Pied Piper"



I'm held in high opinion
In many a King's dominion
From the snowy North to sunny South
I set the royal feet a tappin'
And the poor people clappin'
Every door lies open to my song
All creatures beneath the sun
That creep or swim or fly or run
Have to up and dance when I do play
And I chiefly use my charm
To keep the old heart warm
For the lack of music has done people harm

People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
Pay the piper call the tune

I'm very good with rats
And sneaky wicked vampire bats
Snakes and lakes and dragons breathing fire
And if you have this problem
I very soon can solve 'em
For I have one remedy for all complaints
So lean easy and close your eye
Lean easy and take a sign
Open up your ears, my daring dears
My music is the balm
My music makes you calm
Melodious medicinal charm

People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
Pay the piper call the tune

All children in the world
Brown and white and boy and girl
Know the secret meaning to my song
Princesses in prison towers
Monsters with evil powers
Fairy tales are really, really true
The goodies and the baddies
Why, they live next door to you and I
The hero and the heroine is you, you, you!
If you listen to my song
You can't go very wrong
And now I want you all to sing along

People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
Pay the piper call the tune

People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
Pay the piper call the tune
People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
People call me The Pied Piper
Pay the piper call the tune

"People Used To"

"People Used To"



People used to get together round a fire
Fishes were cooked, songs were sung
Moonlight used to guide our way home in the dark
Do you find it hard remembering?

And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with
But what I've got so far's enough to get along with
People tell me that it's so oh - oh
I don't know anymore, I don't know

People used to get together round a problem
Eyes were looked at tongues were true
People used to stop and say how do you do
Do you find it hard remembering?

And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with
But what I've got so far's enough to get along with
People tell me that it's so oh - oh
I don't know anymore, I don't know

People used to spend an hour making tea
Easy easy was the rule
People used to pause to think and contemplate
He who hurried was the fool

And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with
But what I've got so far's enough to get along with
People tell me that it's so oh - oh
I don't know anymore, I don't know

"Peregrine"

"Peregrine"



Peregrine falcon hooded and flying
Whither you go blindly over the mountain.
Oh your boats upon the sea are very beautiful to view
By me, by me, by me, by me, I hope by you.
Oh your boats upon the sea are very beautiful to view
By me, by me, by me, by me, I hope by you.
Once I tried to be your friend, but I was undergoing change
The same as you, the same as me, the same as you,
The same as me, the same as you.
And from what I've read you say
You feel quite certain of the way
The world will go, the world will go,
The world will go, the world will go, and so am I.
Oh, oh and there will come a time
When to each other we'll be kinder
Than we were, than we were
And there will come, and there will come
A peace of mind, a peace of mind, a peace of mind.

"Please Don't Bend"

"Please Don't Bend"



Walking, talking along a lonely shore
With your hair blowing soft on the breeze
I do dream you into my life
Gift me your love if you please
Please don't bend my heart
Made of glass
I can't promise to be here for you
Please don't bend my heart
She said to me
I can't promise to be here, be here, be here for you
Oh what a night the moon shining bright
Your kisses are sweeter than wine
Music floats on the breeze from the town
I lead you holding your hand in mine
Now you're trembling beneath my lips
Soon I'll be gone to the south
We say nothing, we two just know
No words of woe from our mouths

"Poke At The Pope"

"Poke At The Pope"



Have you ever seen a picture of Pope Paul?
Have you ever asked yourself this question,
Would you trust this man with your soul now?
Would you trust this man? ask yourself now

His eyes are sunken and his cheeks are hollow
While you dig the poor of the world they follow
He hoarding up their gold in the Vatican
Would you trust this man? ask yourself now

A poke at the Pope, that's what we're havin'

Ave Maria, Ave Maria...

Do you remember when the floods hit Italy?
How the things they treasured most were destroyed
All the paintings and the worshipped images
'Cos they lost their faith in the real God

He's goin' down and he's goin' down fast
You really didn't think the ignorance could last
All the little children are learning
And the constellation is turning.

A poke at the Pope, that's what we're havin'

Mumbling by the tumbling tide
The kind of America humbly cried
Save my soul, save it soon!
The king of America fell in swoon

Oh yea, my honey, Oh yea my honey...

"Poor Cow"

"Poor Cow"



I dwell in the north in the green country,
Far I'm here, far I'm here
And I take to my rest at the end of day,
Whilst o'erhead pretty stars do play.
And then I dream along,
Then I make a song
About everything that I've known and felt,
And it makes my sadness melt
Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day,
The rain has gone away,
Watching the children sing and play
In the garden and the roadway.
Up comes a little one singing a song
About a friend she knows called Rosie.
Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie.
All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly.
Oh, I dwell with my pride and my songs and things
Wearily, oh so wearily
And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye
Sundaily, whatever she may be.
And then I dream along
Then I make a song
About everything that I've known and felt
And it makes my sadness melt.
Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day,
The rain has gone away
Watching the children sing and play
In the garden and the roadway
Up comes a little one singing a song
About a friend she knows called Rosie.
Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie.
All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly.
Oh, I dwell in the north in the green country,
Far I'm here, far I'm here
And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye
Sundaily, whatever she may be.
And then I dream along,
And then I make a song
About everything that I've known and felt,
And it makes my sadness melt.
