XTC - Harvest Festival текст песни

See the flowers round the altar

See the peaches in tins neath the headmasters chair

Harvest festival

See the two whove been chosen

See them walk hand in hand to the front of the hall

Harvest festival

Harvest festival

What was best of all was the

Longing look you gave me

That longing look

More than enough to keep me fed all year

See the children with baskets

See their hair cut like corn neatly combed in their rows

Harvest festival

Harvest festival

What was best of all was the

Longing look you gave me

That longing look

Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs

The longing look you gave me

That longing look

More than enough to keep me fed all year

What a year when the exams and crops all failed

Of course you passed but you were never seen again

We all grew and we got screwed and cut and nailed

Then out of nowhere invitation in gold pen

See the flowers round the altar

See that you too got married and I wish you well

Harvest festival

Harvest festival

What was best of all was the

Longing look you gave me

That longing look

Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs

The longing look you gave me

That longing look

More than enough to keep me fed all year

Harvest festival
