Today
The Palace and the tax office are rent asunder
And the dogs and swine lord it over the corpses
And the officials are queuing for the first flight out
And the Palace and the Tax Office are rent asunder
Yeah verily the Palace and the Tax Office are rent asunder
And Papa Doc smiles from the beyond
And the undead rise and their places filled by the newly dead
And the lunatics are delivered from the asylum
And Papa Doc smiles from beyond
Yeah verily Papa Doc smiles from the beyond
And the fundamentalists call upon the bible
For lo they did wreak it on themselves
And their devil worship did spawn many awful films
So the fundamentalists call upon the bible
Yeah verily the fundamentalists call upon the bible.
The laughter of the racketeers pervades the forest
For it is an ill wind that does not blow someone some good
With the price of rice and peas already soaring
So the laughter of the racketeers pervades the forest
Yeah verily the laughter of the racketeers pervades the forest.
Humphries is struggling with the answer
How do we reconcile this to a merciful God?
The Archbishop has no problem with the question
But Humphries is struggling with the answer
Yeah verily Humphries is struggling with the answer.
The Palace and the tax office are rent asunder
And the dogs and swine lord it over the corpses
And the officials are queuing for the first flight out
And the Palace and the Tax Office are rent asunder
Yeah verily the Palace and the Tax Office are rent asunder.

Hi Dave, It was nice to chat to you the other night in Wigan and cheers for your good advice. Just read your poems above, poor old Derek, what a way to go! I really like 'Choker', I know what your mate means about graveyards, they are very powerful places. Hope to see you about soon, cheers Stevex
