lyrics

why would anybody pay a penny for a thought
they've confiscated every other value that we bought
it's just a tiny matter of holding down the fort
you'll find it in the small print of the 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

marvelous sun is setting to make the day complete
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

marvelous sun is setting to make the day complete
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

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 before wet the astute
in fading light the carriage rides the ruts beside the fence
and all returns returns again repeats such discontent

marvelous sun is setting to make the day complete
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
