A League Of Notions - Al Stewart[00:00:00]

I'm here sitting in the wreck of Europe[00:00:21]

With a map of Europe[00:00:24]

Spread out in a hall of Versailles[00:00:25]

And every single nationality and principality[00:00:27]

Have come for a piece of the pie[00:00:30]

I'm sitting in the wreck of Europe[00:00:33]

With a map of Europe[00:00:34]

And the lines and the borders are gone[00:00:36]

We've got to do this jigsaw puzzle[00:00:38]

It's an awful muddle[00:00:40]

But somehow we've got to go on[00:00:41]

Lawrence of Arabia is waiting in the wings[00:00:45]

He's got some Arab sheikhs and kings[00:00:49]

And we're in debt to them somehow[00:00:52]

Lawrence of Arabia has got this perfect vision[00:00:56]

Gonna sell him down the river[00:01:00]

There's no time for him now[00:01:03]

I think I'm gonna take a piece of Russia[00:01:09]

And a Piece of Germany[00:01:12]

And give them to Poland again[00:01:13]

I'll put together Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia[00:01:15]

And hope that is how they'll remain[00:01:18]

Then I'll take a bit of Turkey[00:01:21]

Then a lot of Turkey[00:01:22]

This is all quite a heady affair[00:01:24]

There's Persia and Iraq to pick up[00:01:26]

And there's Churchill's hiccup[00:01:27]

And we can't leave it up in the air[00:01:28]

Woodrow Wilson waves his fourteen points around[00:01:33]

And says The time to act is now[00:01:37]

Won't get this opportunity again[00:01:39]

Woodrow Wilson has his fourteen points[00:01:44]

But Clemenceau turns to Lloyd George[00:01:47]

And says You know that[00:01:50]

God himself had only ten[00:01:51]

Today I'm carried by a league of notions[00:01:57]

By a league of notions[00:01:59]

I don't think I quite understand[00:02:01]

I only know from this commotion[00:02:02]

There's a chance that we could turn[00:02:05]

The world in the palm of our hands[00:02:08]

By a league of notions[00:02:10]

I don't think I quite understand[00:02:13]

I only know from this commotion[00:02:14]

There's a chance that we could turn[00:02:15]

The world in the palm of our hands[00:02:17]

Voices in the corridors of power[00:02:40]

Candles burning hour by hour[00:02:43]

Still you know that to the victors go the spoils[00:02:46]

Such a great responsibility to make it fair[00:02:50]

And there must be some reparations now[00:02:55]

And don't forget the oil[00:02:59]

Today I'm carried by a league of notions[00:03:03]

By a league of notions[00:03:06]

I don't think I quite understand[00:03:09]

I only know from this commotion[00:03:10]

There's a chance that we could turn[00:03:11]

The world in the palm of our hands[00:03:13]

Today I'm carried by a league of notions[00:03:15]

By a league of notions[00:03:17]

I don't think I quite understand[00:03:19]

I only know from this commotion[00:03:20]

There's a chance that we could turn[00:03:22]

The world in the palm of our hands[00:03:24]

Pax vobiscum[00:03:36]

Wo-Oh Pax vobiscum[00:03:38]
