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 stel 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, Should we start again, I'll turn the next page Thinking of the weekends playing herbs Like a rib 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 skimming through the red cells I can find it to you Oh if we have the ice age, Should we start again, I'll turn the next page Thinking of the weekends playing herbs Like a rib 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 Why should we listen to you Why should we listen to you Do as I say, not as I do Do as I say, not as I do
