Andy Partridge - The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead lyrics

[Intro] Let's begin! [Verse 1] Peter Pumpkinhead came to town Spreading wisdom and cash around Fed the starving and housed the poor Showed the Vatican what gold's for [Chorus] 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! [Verse 2] Peter Pumpkinhead pulled them all Emptied churches and shopping malls When he spoke, it would raise the roof Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth [Chorus] 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! [Verse 3] Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame Governments who would slur his name Plots and s** scandals failed outright Peter merely said any kind of love is alright [Chorus] 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? [Verse 4] 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! [Chorus] 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? [Outro] 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?
