All held and must refrain
Mask all that glisters, will remain
Suspended in the clear liquor
Older than oak-apple day
Pretty major careless
To lose the battle, win the war yet lose the peace
Though the songs that were in the blood will stay
Till the pulse run quicker
All held and must refrain
Mask all that glisters, will remain
Suspended in the clear liquor
Older than oak-apple day
And the memories and the ration-book
Did take from me what was worth a look
And I would haul my case to the railway station
With the other refugees departing
Like clues. What? Why? The restoration
Of true order may bind a nation
But the king is stayed, stuck up a tree, his heart not in
Celebrating her and you or you and me
But all held and must refrain
Mask all that glisters, will remain
Suspended in the clear liquor
Older than oak-apple day
