Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead 

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!

Don't it make you want to cry oh?

Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead

King For A Day 

Everyone's creeping up to the money god,

Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls,
Into the land of "nothing for free"
Well the way that we're living,

Is all take and no giving,

There's nothing to believe in,

The loudest mouth will hail the new found way,

To be king for a day
Everyone's licking up to the new king pin,

Trying to get way up with a smile

Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click,

Ain't my way of living in style
'Cause the ladder gets longer,

And ambition gets stronger,

I can't satisfy the hunger,

That bad old moon has got you in its sway,

To be king for the day
You're only here once so you got to get it right
(No time to fuss and fight)

'Cause life don't mean much if measured out with someone else's plight
(In time you'll see the light)
'Cause the way that we're living,

Is all take and no giving,

There's not mush to believe in,

The loudest mouth will hail the new found way,

To be king for a day
You got to be the king for a day, ah
To be king for a day

Mayor of Simpleton 

Never been near a university, never took a paper or a learned degree,
And some of your friends think that's stupid of me,
But it's nothing that I care about.
Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun, and of
Mathematics well I want none, and I may be the Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one things and that's I love you.
When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done,
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.
I can't have been there when brains were handed round
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
Or get past the cover of your books profound
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
And some of your friends thinks it's really unsound
That you're ever seen talking to me.
Well I don't know how to write a big hit song, and all crossword
Puzzles well I just shun,
And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing and that's I love you.
I'm not proud of the fact that I never learned much,
Just feel I should say, what you get is all real,
I can't put on an act, it takes brains to do that anyway.
(And anyway...)
And I can't unravel riddles problems and puns,
How the home computer has me on the run,
And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing and that's I love you (I love you).
If depth of feeling is a currency
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
Then I'm the man who grew the money tree
(No chain of office and no hope of getting one),
Some of your friends are too brainy to see that they're paupers
And that's how they'll stay.
Well I don't know how many pounds make up a ton of all the Nobel
Prizes that I've never won, and I may be the Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one things and that's I love you.
When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done,
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor.
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton.)

From Here to Eternity 

From here to eternity - that's where she takes me
From here to eternity - with love, with love, with love
Baby - baby - baby gives me loving
Leaves me meaning nothing, nothing left to mean
Baby - baby - baby's got me sighing
Nearly has me dying, dying off to me
From here to eternity
That's where she takes me
From here to eternity
She does, she does, she does, she does
From here to eternity
That's where she leads me
From here to eternity
With love, with love, with love, with love

Sheila Take a Bow

Is it wrong to want to live on your own?
No, it's not wrong, but I must know
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love
And who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you
Is it wrong not to always be glad?
No, it's not wrong, but I must add
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love
And who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you
Take my hand and off we stride
You're a girl and I'm a boy
Take my hand and off we stride
I'm a girl and you're a boy
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Throw your homework onto the fire
Come out and find the one that you love
Come out and find the one you love

I Love A Man In A Uniform 

Time with my girl I spent it well
I had to be strong for my woman
(You must be joking, o man you must be joking)
She needed to be protected
The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my self-respect
So I got into camouflage
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform Repeat: x4
To have ambitions was my ambition
But I had nothing to show for my dreams
Time with my girl I spent it well
(you must be joking, o man you must be joking)
The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my confidence
So I got into camouflage
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform Repeat: x4
I need an order
(shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(shoot, shoot)
To have ambition
Was my ambition
Time with my girl I spent it well
(you must be joking, o man you must be joking)
The girls they love to see you shoot
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
(they love to see you shoot)
I love a man in a uniform
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(they love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(they love a, they love a, they love a)
(they love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
(bang bang you're dead)
I love a man in a uniform
(they love a they love a they love a bang bang)
(they love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(they love a they love a they love a bang bang)
(they love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
(bang bang you're dead)
I love a man in a uniform
(they love a they love a they love a bang bang)
(they love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
(bang bang you're dead)
(they love a, they love a, they love a)
(I love a man in a uniform)
