Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, my darlings, Jean and Rita
Life couldn't be much sweeter
Swinging all around you see
What this country's made of me
Until yesterday I'd thought
The best things in life are bought
Strange when you're led by the nose
Through restaurants in evening clothes
Through restaurants in evening clothes
[Verse 2]
Oh, but I'm tired of these contradictions
Council roads to revolution
Waves part, on they go
Walking fast, thinking slow
Days don't pass so calmly
Invaded by Salvation's Army
If this is all God's given
Well, he could keep the rest
I said he could keep the, keep the rest
[Verse 3]
But all these pennies if they came from Heaven
Would this mean that all's forgiven?
[Verse 4]
Oh, I've seen this men and all the women
In love with everyday living
Stack furniture against the door
Landmine the kitchen floor
Opening windows, pulling strings
The smell of napalm in the morning
But if Engels came, saved us all
I doubt he would make house calls
Somehow I doubt that he would make house calls
[Verse 5]
But if all these pennies, if they came from Heaven, oh
Could Karl Max have been mistaken?
