lyrics

why would anybody pay a penny for a thought they've
confiscated every other value that we brought
it's just a tiny matter of holding down the fort you'll
find it in the small print of my weekly month's report
and the sum of what was said the gist that was agreed
something will be transferred when it's shown what we will be

Chorus:

marvelous sun is setting to make the day complete the
night will enter stage left if we still decide to meet
and if there's then a morning we will try to be asleep
as if it's something that requires a nose for the discrete

2.
we met our comrades on the field wanting to align the
markers with the edges playing out in dark tree line
nothing happened just at first but soon it all came down
the clouds just split and out it fell the center of the town
for what it's worth I stood my ground while others turned to flee
and what it has amounted to is not far short of free - chorus

3.
soon I know the district gate will close on those who're late the
method in their madness isn't lost on those who wait
in the distant hills where orchards lay in rows of savory fruit
the clouds beyond above and as be fore wet the astute
in fading light the carriage rides the ruts beside the fence
and all returns returns again repeats such discontent - chorus
