King Solomon's Song and Mine - Momus[00:00:00]
Solomon took a census [00:00:12]
And we were just passing through[00:00:14]
But his press gang arrested us[00:00:16]
And led us to the quarry two by two[00:00:19]
And now King Solomon [00:00:22]
I'm working for a song in your mine[00:00:25]
Solomon wants a palace and[00:00:33]
A temple for his god Yahweh[00:00:35]
But you and me sweet Alison we get sweet FA[00:00:38]
And now King Solomon [00:00:43]
I'm working for a song in your mine[00:00:46]
You trade our daylight for Turkish Delight[00:00:52]
You trade our fear for euphoria[00:00:55]
But we trade the real for your underground rail[00:00:59]
And your foreman's rules[00:01:02]
O my love let's start a trade union for fools[00:01:03]
The Queen of Sheba visited [00:01:12]
She brought spices and guitars[00:01:14]
There never were spices or guitars like that[00:01:17]
At least never for the likes of us[00:01:19]
Solomon took some frankincense [00:01:22]
The Queen took some cocaine[00:01:24]
Then the lighting changed and[00:01:27]
They sang strange words[00:01:28]
And the band already knew the chords[00:01:29]
And now King Solomon [00:01:32]
I'm working for your song and mine[00:01:35]
You trade our daylight for Turkish Delight[00:01:43]
You trade our fear for euphoria[00:01:45]
But we trade the real for your underground rail[00:01:49]
And your foreman's rules[00:01:52]
O my love [00:01:54]
One thing's sure and nothing's surer[00:01:57]
The rich get richer and the poor get[00:01:59]
Now we're living happily Alison and I[00:02:20]
We can't stop singing Solomon's song [00:02:25]
We were singing it on the night[00:02:27]
We conceived our healthy children [00:02:30]
Who thanks to the union line[00:02:32]
Are at school with the sons of the foreman[00:02:35]
With a future down the mine[00:02:38]
And soon King Solomon [00:02:43]
They'll be working for your song and mine[00:02:46]
You trade our daylight for Turkish Delight[00:02:54]
You trade our fear for euphoria[00:02:57]
But we trade our lives for the song[00:03:01]
You taught us to sing[00:03:03]
How does it go The trade union[00:03:06]
And God save the King[00:03:09]
