A DREADED SUNNY DAY
SO I MEET YOU AT
THE CEMETRY GATES
KEATS AND YEATS
ARE ON YOUR SIDE
A DREADED SUNNY DAY
SO I MEET YOU AT
THE CEMETRY GATES
KEATS AND YEATS
ARE ON YOUR SIDE
WHILE WILDE IS ON MINE
SO WE GO INSIDE AND WE
GRAVELY READ THE STONES
ALL THOSE PEOPLE
ALL THOSE LIVES
WHERE ARE THEY NOW
WITH LOVES, AND HATES
AND PASSIONS JUST LIKE MINE
THEY WERE BORN
AND THEN THEY LIVED
AND THEN THEY DIED
IT SEEMS SO UNFAIR
I WANT TO CRY
YOU SAY 'ERE THRICE THE SUN
DONE SALUTATION TO THE DAWN
AND YOU CLAIM THESE
WORDS AS YOUR OWN
BUT I'VE READ WELL
AND I'VE HEARD THEM SAID
A HUNDRED TIMES
MAYBE LESS, MAYBE MORE
IF YOU MUST WRITE
PROSE AND POEMS
THE WORDS YOU USE
SHOULD BE YOUR OWN
DON'T PLAGIARISE
OR TAKE ON LOAN
'CAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS
SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE
WITH A BIG NOSE, WHO KNOWS
AND TRIPS YOU UP AND
LAUGHS WHEN YOU FALL
WHO'LL TRIP YOU UP
AND LAUGH WHEN YOU FALL
YOU SAY 'ERE LONG
DONE DO DOES DID
WORDS WHICH COULD
ONLY BE YOUR OWN
AND THEN PRODUCE THE TEXT
FROM WHENCE WAS RIPPED
SOME DIZZY WHORE
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND FOUR
A DREADED SUNNY DAY
SO LET'S GO WHERE WE'RE HAPPY
AND I MEET YOU AT
THE CEMETRY GATES
OH, KEATS AND YEATS
ARE ON YOUR SIDE
A DREADED SUNNY DAY
SO LET'S GO WHERE
WE'RE WANTED
AND I MEET YOU AT
THE CEMETRY GATES
KEATS AND YEATS
ARE ON YOUR SIDE
BUT YOU LOSE
'CAUSE WEIRD LOVER
WILDE IS ON MINE
SURE!
