lyrics

SWANS THEY ARE A-FEEDING

Tell me of your dream
Where you can glimpse the world that’s coming
Watch the swans a-feeding fish, oh my
There’s a tortoise playing ball
And a cat that suckles chicks
See the weasel on a bird flying high

You are a boy who wears a cocked hat
Pointing at the night sky
Where the moon will have a man walking by
You tell me he will soar there
In a fiery machine
Waving good old terra firma goodbye
With a solitary tear in his eye

Your midnight musing is fantastical to me
I’m a god-fearing girl who simply cannot believe

I may travel by road
And along shiny rails
But never with my head in the clouds
The smoke of battle rises
And the bullets are a-spinning
Deadly weaponry of war is far too loud

Tell me of your nightmare
Where men with swathed faces
March those in bright robes to face the knife
Will people of science and learning
Torture one another
And send them left or right to end their life
Or dwell on crueller ways to make them die?

Your midnight musing is fantastical to me
I’m a god-fearing girl who simply cannot believe

If the waters gush and the winds do howl and cry
Even king and queens will bow down in splendour to grieve

There’s a painting in the gallery of a garden of earthly delights
That also parades a vision of freakery and fright
