| | Album: | Nonsuch | | Track: | The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 253 | | | | Lyrics: | Let's begin)
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
Spreading wisdom and cash
around
Fed the starving and housed the poor
Showed the Vatican what gold's
for
(Chorus)But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our
knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead
Peter
Pumpkinhead pulled them all
Emptied churches and shopping malls
Where he spoke it would
raise the roof
Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth
(Chorus)
Peter
Pumpkinhead put to shame
Governments who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals failed
outright
Peter merely said, "Any kind of love is all
right"
(Chorus)
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
Had him nailed to a chunk
of wood
He died grinning on live TV
Hanging there he looked a lot like you, and an awful
lot like me!
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our
knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead
Hooray for Peter
Pumpkin
(Hooray!)
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Pe-ter
Pump-kin-head
Oh my, oh my, don't it make you want to cry, oh | | | |
