XTC "HARVEST FESTIVAL" |
See the flowers 'round the altarSee the peaches in tins'Neath the headmaster's chairHarvest festivalSee the two who've been chosenSee them walk hand in handTo the front of the hallHarvest festival, harvest festivalWhat was best of all was theLonging look you gave me, that longing lookMore than enough to keep me fed all yearSee the children with basketsSee their hair cut like cornNeatly combed in their rowsHarvest festival, harvest festivalWhat was best of all was theLonging look you gave me, that longing lookAcross the hymnbooks and the canvas chairsThe longing look you gave meThat longing lookMore than enough to keep me fed all yearAnd what a year when the exams and crops all failedOf course, you passed and you were never seen againWe all grew and we got screwed and cut and nailedThen out of nowhere, invitation in gold penSee the flowers 'round the altarSee that you too got marriedAnd I wish you wellHarvest festival, harvest festivalWhat was best of all was theLonging look you gave me, that longing lookAcross the hymnbooks and the canvas chairsThe longing look you gave meThat longing lookMore than enough to keep me fed all yearHarvest festival Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
