This Leaden Pall Songtext / Lyric

It's the year 2163

Chester Barnes is risen from the dead

And he's coming round to creosote the fence

And I for one feel spartan and monastic



As the drama unfolds on the lawn

There's a wager between the staff and me

That Barnsey can't complete the job before

I take my final Stannah up the stairs to the stars



Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song

Sssh…






Granddaughter doesn't want to know

Ever since she got into the charts

Ask her what perfume she wears

“Self-Righteous” by Anita Roddick



The doctor overrates me in my room

And with the regularity of doom

A geezer with a double-necked guitar

Comes and tells me Tales from Topographic Oceans



Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song



Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song

Papal entourage give us a song

Sssh…
