Ed Harcourt Do As I Say Not As I Do Lyrics

Now the fat cats are crying over wasted milk
And the trees are bending over to make room for the
moon
But a plague on on the house of cards they've build
there is a ship on the horizon with a menacing metal
harpoon

do as I say, not as I do
do as I say, not as I do

fast is the virtue with the cameras and curfews
little scare among us of the pending doom
a little problem just is making stell light Statues
empty are the pockets of the victims of the baby boom

do as I say, not as I do
why should we listen to you
do as I say, not as I do

oh to all the people that I might have offended
it wasn't that intended/I hope we can amend it

do as I say, not as I do

oh to all the people that I might have offended
you probably needed it/so take your cake and eat it

when we were the bright spots
firing up the circuits in the rough bars,
flicking every switch blessing holes
right through your blood cloths swimming through the red cells
i can find it
to you

oh if we have the ice age,
soon we'll start again,
i'll turn the next page
thinking of the weekends playing herbs
like a rip cage shaking off the cobwebs
to keep it from you

do as I say, not as I do
do as I say, not as I do, ooh

oh to all the people that I might have offended
you probably needed it, so take a cake and eat it

when we were the bright spots
firing up the circuits in the rough bars,
flicking every switch blessing holes
right through your blood cloths
swimming through the red cells
i can find it
to you

oh if we have the ice age,
soon we'll start again,
i'll turn the next page
thinking of the weekends playing herbs
like a rip cage shaking off the cobwebs
to keep it from you

do as I say, not as I do (2)
why should we listen to you (2)
do as I say, not as I do (2)
