Did anybody noticeover marmalade and eggs
In between the Princess legs
What with wars and floods and beggars
Not to mention stocks and shares
If you have a moment to spare
Can you write and reassure me that I have seen
They re constructing a time machine
There will be no need for the obituary pages
We can have any hero from the bygone ages
Til the truth emergesthe argument rages

Chorus:
The major and the minor
Turn from tallow into tar
Should we leave them in their place?
Down in damnation s cellar

When any form of deity that you might enjoy
Can be conjured with a test-tube and a flame
If it s out there then science can explain it
Or at least remove the blame
And if theres is anyone you d like to see again
The speak up quickly

Send us back Da Vinci then we don t have to ponder
The maddening smile of "La Giaconda"
The critics say Nijinskythe dancerof course
While the punters would probably prefer the horse
You ll find it s quicker than historycheaper than divorce

Chorus

Bring back Liberace or Ollie and Stan
Shakespeare will have to wait his turn
Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return
I suppose we live and learnthough it s hard to believe as we
cheerfully burn
It s curious
Some will call for justice.
There are murders to solve
What about Hitler? Or at least Lee Harvey Oswald
Give us this day and everything we squander
Anyone beautiful
Somebody blonder
They ll never please mankindso lie back and enjoy it
Stop press: They ve just decided to destroy it

Chorus
