Do as I Say Not as I Do - Ed Harcourt

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
