Through the looking glass
Beyond the far horizons
That's where I will be.
That's where I will be--
some sweet someday far away
beyond madding crowd.
beyond madding crowd
amidst the lap of nature
wrapped in green mist
wrapped in a green mist
of vaporised Cornish cale,
Heston's cod ain't cheap
Heston's cod ain't cheap--
flakey fried with malt and salt,
chips and ale: enjoy!
chips and ale: enjoy!
Seize the moment that's flying
on its silver wings
Sorrow hides under the water
As the girl of glass, dressed in white
Is happy enough to commit suicide.
On its silver wings,
Looking-glass insects bizarre:
oh--wonderful dream!
Oh-- wonderful dream!
They charm, they haunt, they seduce
Yet they are divine!
Yet they are divine,
All these ancient, bearded gods.
Divine and jobless.
Divine and jobless
Devouring all our money
Cause of crisis
Cause of crisis
Pushing its way to the fore
Delivers the truth.
Delivers the truth:
can you handle it, though guy?
No sob sisters here.
No sob sisters here
Only the stock of Norway
We are beefy girls.
we are beefy girls
who warm our hands at pink teats
milkmaids in a row
