Lyrics of the song of the day

[ekki]

POPPIES

The parachute’s in my bag
I’m throwing it over to you
The parachute’s in your hands
Don’t ask me what to do
Poppies are in the field
But don’t ask me what that means
Poppies are in the field
But don’t ask me what that means
I'll wait around
I'll wait around

I see a change in you
Can you see a change in me?
But I can’t explain at all

I can’t explain what I feel
"Comics insult" you said
Comics are all I read
"Comics insult" you said
Comics are all I read

I'll wait around
I'll wait around
I'll wait around
I'll wait around
Wait around

Used to love that tune...

Oddly, the lyrics made more sense after a few bong hits. But I bet that's just how Julian would have wanted it.

By the way, have you ever seen his book about pagan/druid/historic sites around England? Quite enjoyable.
