I’m wading through the quicksand
In the gardens of the gentry
Blooming vacuity
Leaves mind and pockets empty
Now,In the Social Order
I accept the bottom rung
until the wine is pouring
And the Lord commands a song
So,Meet me at the staff door
When the posers all go home
We’ll gather with the other Fools
And put on a proper show (show!)
R: Na na natineutinee... (2x)

Knee deep in shite

I’d rather live a lifetime

In the Company of Fools
Within the strangest people

So meet me in the village
where all we idiots go
