Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead [early Home Demo] Lyric

by Xtc

Lyric:



Peter Pumpkinhead Came To Town

Spreading Wisdom And Cash Around

Fed The Starving And Housed The Poor

Showed The Vatican What Gold's For

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?

Oh My!

Peter Pumpkinhead Pulled Them All

Emptied Churches And Shopping Malls

Where He Spoke, It Would Raise The Roof

Peter Pumpkinhead Told The Truth

But He Made Too Many Enemies...

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 Alright

But He Made Too Many Enemies...

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...

Hooray For Peter Pumpkin

Who'll Pray For Peter Pumpkin

Hooray For Peter Pumpkinhead

Oh My Oh My Oh!

Doesn't It Make You Want To Cry Oh?
