Vagabonds Of The Western World

My baby don't love me
My baby's gone and made me sad
My baby don't love me
My baby's gone and made me sad

A hard hearted woman
A hard hearted woman true
My baby don't love me
My baby don't love me

Oh baby, let the flags fly at half mast
Let this darkened hour drift past
Oh baby, you don't know
How much i'm missing you

All my tears are falling
Slow blues is calling
Oh baby, you don't know
How much i'm missing you

Oh baby, baby, baby, go tell this crazy world the true tale
Please let loose this lover's ship to sail
Oh baby, you don't know
How much i'm missing you

You don't know how much i love you
Oh no no no no no

My baby don't love me
My baby's gone and made me sad
My baby don't love me
My baby's gone and made me sad

Mama nature said
"it's murder what you've done"
I sent you forth my brightest world
Now it's nearly gone

Birds and bees
Been telling me
You can't see
The forest for the trees

You cover up your lies
With sympathies
And i got no solutions
To your persecution

Mama nature said
"i can't believe it's true"
I gave you life and food for thought
Look what did you do

You're killing my rivers
Drowning my baby streams
Day by day by day by day
I hear them scream

I'm so disillusioned
I'm so disillusioned

Mama nature said
"you're guilty of this crime"
Now it's not just a matter of fact
But just a matter of time

Cruel will be the vengeance
So savage is the deed that's done
And i've got no solutions
To your own pollutions

The hero he rode a white horse
Across the desert to where his woman was
He'd been riding for four days
When he saw the tower where she was locked

In the moonlight he left his old steed
Near the drawbridge that he crossed
And by way of a rope ladder
He tip-toed to where his woman was

If i recall you're the actor
Who followed the stars
Searching for
The lost city of mars

Hoping time would heal the scars
Knowing fate held no bars
Are you the one
That i think you are?

Are you the hero or are you the madman?

The madman climbed
The steeple spire
"go higher" said the crowd
From down below

"but...the world's on fire" cried the madman
From the steeple spire
"you're a liar" cried the crown
From down below

The madman climbed the steeple spire
And let a crystal ball tear
Fall on the crown
From down below

If i recall you're the actor
Who took to the stage
Set the world ablaze
With your anger and your rage

With every new leaf
You turned and wrote a new page
Cleverly concealing
Your real age

Those that knew you
Were always quite amazed
Are you the one
Who can take this praise?

Are you the hero or are you the madman?

"you're the only one"
"who can save us"
Said the wizard
"or all is lost"

Little girl in bloom
With happy heart you wipe aside
Any sadness, sorrow or gloom
Tomorrow you'll be a blushing bride
That loves her blushing groom

Little girl in bloom
You watch the men play cricket
From the window in your room
See the ball go from bat to wicket
Pass away the afternoon

Little girl in bloom
Carries a secret
The child she carries in her womb
She feels something sacred
She's gonna be a mammy soon

When your daddy comes home
Don't tell him till alone
When your daddy comes back
Go tell him the facts
Just relax and see how he's gonna react

Little girl in bloom
All the clouds will go drifting by
So sing your lullabying tune
Every word is in your eyes
As you sit and softly croon

Little girl in bloom
Your love it fills the air
With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume
You feel so good you just don't care
You're gonna be a mammy soon

When your daddy comes home
Don't tell him till alone
When your daddy comes back
Go tell him the facts
Just relax and see how he's gonna react
