Lordly Nightshade
Lyricist:Williamson Robin D H
Captured by Hitler with Oliver Twist in the tower Guards say, 'Here's pens and paper, just sit down and work for an hour' Oh, goodness, how can we escape? But it's not worthwhile All I can do is smile
Down gallons of glandular corridors of the dark castle The pompous old bellman is tolling one bell At bath time there's hippies in chains, they are crossing the hall Where Hitler is making his new film about it all
We slip trough a pew and escape, but I just don't know All I can do is grow
Tell me more, what then
Down Main Street I go on a duffel-coat hoping instead For a little room, yawn, I'm so tired with this big bag of coal on my head Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It's a top hat, I'm trying to sell or a lesson to learn Vaguely seeking some fire to burn
While a whole group of middle aged persons with dwarfish expressions And tinned conversations in Sunday blessed blue Standing around for a photograph, watch the cuckoo Do you need any coal? But it doesn't appear that they do
Then I offered my throat to the wolf, but I just can't die All I can do is fly
Tell me more, what then
Safe and secure in the skirts of the midsummer wood Cooking soup with stale words and fresh meanings, it tastes so good The green wolf with his bunch of red roses is slinking away All on a summer's day
