XTC ballad of peter pumpkinhead 2001 remaster

Select language to translate this lyric

Let's begin!
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
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
Oh my!
Peter Pumpkinhead fooled them all
Emptied churches and shopping malls
When he spoke it would
Raise the roof
Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth!
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead!
Oh my!
Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
Governments who would slur his name
Plot and sex scandals failed outright
Peter merely said any kind of love is all alright
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
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
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead!
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead!
Oh my, oh my, I'm gonna make you wanna cry, oh!
