Текст песни A League Of Notions - Al Stewart
I'm
here
sitting
in
the
wreck
of
Europe
with
a
map
of
Europe
Spread
out
in
a
hall
of
Versailles
Every
single
nationality
and
principality
have
come
for
a
piece
of
the
pie
I'm
sitting
in
the
wreck
of
Europe
with
a
map
of
Europe
And
the
lines
and
the
borders
are
gone
We've
got
to
do
this
jigsaw
puzzle,
it's
an
awful
muddle
But
somehow
we've
got
to
go
on
Lawrence
of
Arabia
is
waiting
in
the
wings
He's
got
some
Arab
sheikhs
and
kings
And
we're
in
debt
to
them
somehow
Lawrence
of
Arabia
has
got
this
perfect
vision
Gonna
sell
him
down
the
river
There's
no
time
for
him
now
I
think
I'm
gonna
take
a
piece
of
Russia
and
a
piece
of
Germany
And
give
them
to
Poland
again
I'll
put
together
Yugoslavia
and
Czechoslovakia
And
hope
that
is
how
they'll
remain
Then
I'll
take
a
bit
of
Turkey,
then
a
lot
of
Turkey
This
is
all
quite
a
heady
affair
There's
Persia
and
Iraq
to
pick
up,
and
there's
Churchill's
hiccup
And
we
can't
leave
it
up
in
the
air
Woodrow
Wilson
waves
his
fourteen
points
around
And
says
"The
time
to
act
is
now,
won't
get
this
opportunity
again"
Woodrow
Wilson
has
his
fourteen
points
But
Clemenceau
turns
to
Lloyd
George
And
says
"You
know
that
God
himself
had
only
ten"
(It's
a
league
of
notions)Today
I'm
carried
by
a
league
of
notions
By
a
league
of
notions
(I
don't
think
I
understand)
I
don't
think
I
quite
understand
(From
this
commotion)
I
only
know
from
this
commotion
(We
can
turn
the
world
in
the
palm
of
our
hands)
There's
a
chance
that
we
could
turn
The
world
in
the
palm
of
our
hands
(It's
a
league
of

I'm
carried
by
a

By

(We

There's
a
chance
that
we
could
turn
The
world
in
the
palm
of
our
hands
Voices
in
the
corridors
of
power
The
candles
burning
hour
by
hour
Still
you
know
that
to
the
victors
go
the
spoils
Such
a
great
responsibility
to
make
it
fair
And
there
must
be
some
reparations,
too
And
don't
forget
the
oil
(It's
