WigWam - Daemon Duncetan's Request lyrics

We're here, said Daemon Duncetan, all about a little raise To help us get through to those better days 'cause we've been united and our colour is true And we really mean business and could do it with you Oh yes, said Holy Peter, standing by the pearly gate I ain't sure that the Master's home right now, But if you can wait I can take up a message all about your beef And have him check it over and maybe see about relief Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan Turn stone to bread right away Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan Turn stone to bread without delay Daemon, said Peter, that's about the tallest order I ever did hear I ain't sure I can help you, he said pickin' his ear 'cause it's written that in practice your loss is your gain And sweet forever after, but what was that again? Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan Turn stone to bread right away Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan Turn stone to bread without delay Because our granaries are all empty There's not enough to go around And our cabbage crops have not yielded substitute And there hasn't been an abundance Of alternatives offhand lately And our miners are striking these happy bourgeois days And while you're at it how about gettin' him To rearrange the code of equality at large Of distribution of power of those who've been in charge And if not would you please just record That one Daemon Duncetan tendered his request And retired at the Lord's grace into rest Said Peter, this really is not in my line I'm all into changin' water to wine And I don't want to disappoint you and I wouldn't want To be a drag But what you're requesting just isn't my bag Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state Our case for survival before it's too late Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan Turn stone to bread right away Turn stone to bread or Yorkshire pudding Turn stone to bread without delay
