A dreaded sunny day
A dreaded sunny day
A dreaded sunny day
A dreaded sunny day
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
And passions just like mine
And then they died
And then they lived
And who trips you up and laughs
And you claim these words as your own
But I've read well and I've heard them said
Don't plagiarise or take 'on loan'
From whence was ripped
If you must write prose or poems
Keats and Yeats are on your side
Keats and Yeats are on your side
Oh Keats and Yeats are on your side
Salutation to the dawn"
Seems so unfair
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
So let's go where we're happy
Sure!
There's always someone, somewhere
When you fall
Where are they now?
While Wilde is on mine
Who'll trip you up and laugh
With a big nose who knows
Words which could only be your own
You say: "Ere long done do does did"
You say: "Ere thrice the sun hath done
'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine
'Some dizzy whore', 1804
