Simple Men - Momus[00:00:00]
The simple men live the simple[00:00:12]
Life in big log cabins[00:00:14]
They're best of friends with a[00:00:16]
Simpleton and a horse called Dobbins[00:00:17]
Their yards resound with the[00:00:19]
Simple sound of blackbirds and robins[00:00:20]
And their wives make simple[00:00:23]
Samplers with thimbles and bobbins[00:00:24]
We envy them the simple men[00:00:26]
The simple men we envy them[00:00:28]
We envy the simple men[00:00:30]
We envy them the simple men[00:00:31]
We envy them the simple men[00:00:33]
The simple men we envy them[00:00:35]
They're terribly superstitious [00:00:41]
Fear the ghost and the gollum[00:00:42]
They sit in a chair in the mountain[00:00:44]
Air and breathe in the pollen[00:00:46]
Their tweeds and plaids are[00:00:48]
Homespun adorned with a sporran[00:00:49]
They're always at war with the[00:00:51]
Valley folk because they are foreign[00:00:52]
We envy them the simple men[00:00:55]
The simple men we envy them[00:00:56]
We envy the simple men[00:00:58]
We envy them the simple men[00:01:00]
We envy them the simple men[00:01:02]
The simple men we envy them[00:01:04]
Funny how it seems the[00:01:09]
More that we evolve[00:01:11]
The more the basic problems[00:01:12]
Of our lives get solved[00:01:14]
The more we yearn for harder [00:01:16]
Simpler times back when[00:01:18]
We envy them the simple men[00:01:19]
Their pigs have lice and their rats[00:01:45]
Have mice and their dogs have rabies[00:01:46]
They dig in the muck to make graves[00:01:48]
They mark with the names of their babies[00:01:50]
They beat their wives it serves[00:01:51]
Them right it's in Deuteronomy[00:01:53]
And for their simple daughters[00:01:55]
They reserve clitorectomy[00:01:57]
We envy them the simple men[00:01:59]
The simple men we envy them[00:02:00]
We envy the simple men[00:02:02]
We envy them the simple men[00:02:04]
We envy them the simple men[00:02:06]
The simple men we envy them[00:02:07]
Funny how the symbols of humanity[00:02:13]
Turn out to be the images of brutality[00:02:16]
Projecting soul on the soulless again[00:02:20]
We envy them the simple men[00:02:23]
