Kevin Coyne - Shaking Hands With the Sun lyrics

Well, they crucified the Saviour because he knew A little bit more than maybe me or you Well, they hung his head and they made him bow so low But I tell you honey that's not the way we're going to go No no no Shaking hands with the sun Shaking hands with the sun Shaking hands with the sun Let's hope the sun it doesn't burn Well, Mussolini he had it all They put him and his mistress against the backside wall Well, they hung 'em from a lamp post, hung them upside down But I tell you honey that won't drive us to ground Shaking hands with the sun Shaking hands with the sun Shaking hands with the sun Let's hope the sun it doesn't burn Well, Hitler he marched through foreign lands Tried to teach the people how to live and understand Well, I think he was a great man, I think he knew more than me Yes, he's setting us up together darling setting us up to be free I want to fly like him Shaking hands with the sun Shaking hands with the sun Shaking hands with the sun Let's hope the sun it doesn't burn Well, the marches at the dark they'll never drive me down You and I little woman we could run, we could run around Let's jump in the city, show them what we can do We've got our ideals and we got our lives now too We know where to go Shaking hands with the sun Shaking hands with the sun Shaking hands with the sun Let's hope the sun it doesn't burn It doesn't burn (repeat 7 times)
