Lyrics The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead (demo) - XTC
Let's
begin
Peter
Pumpkinhead
came
to
town
Spreading
wisdom
and
cash
around
Fed
the
starving
and
housed
the
poor
Showed
the
Vatican
what
gold's
for
But
he
made
too
many
enemies
Of
the
people
who
would
keep
us
on
our
knees
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead,
oh
my
Peter
Pumpkinhead
proved
them
all
Emptied
churches
and
shopping
malls
When
he
spoke
it
would
raise
the
roof
Peter
Pumpkinhead
told
the
truth
But
he
made
too
many
enemies
Of
the
people
who
would
keep
us
on
our
knees
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead,
oh
my
Peter
Pumpkinhead
put
to
shame
Governments
who
would
slur
his
name
Plots
and
sex
scandals
failed
outright
Peter
merely
said,
any
kind
of
love
is
alright
But
he
made
too
many
enemies
Of
the
people
who
would
keep
us
on
our
knees
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead?
Peter
Pumpkinhead
was
too
good
Had
him
nailed
to
a
chunk
of
wood
He
died
grinning
on
live
T.V.
Hanging
there
he
looked
a
lot
like
you
And
an
awful
lot
like
me
But
he
made
too
many
enemies
Of
the
people
who
would
keep
us
on
our
knees
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead?
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkin
(Hooray)
Who'll
pray
for
Peter
Pumpkin?
Hooray
for
Peter
Pumpkinhead
Oh
my,
oh
my,
don't
it
make
you
wanna
cry?
