Genesis - Pigeons Lyrics
Released on spot the pigeon e.p., 1977.Who put fifty tons of shit on the foreign office roof?Who suffers from nine known diseases?Who gets up in the morning when the sun comes upAnd makes their beds, paper clips, bus ticketsAll around their heads?Who congregate around trafalgar squareTaking pot shots at the tourists?Oh youve got to watch outWhen you wander round the square in the morningCos theyre everywhere, theyre everywhereHere we have an honest manA civil servant to bootHe lived high up in the ministryAnd when he wished to make a pointHe knew just what to doHis window ledges were all covered in greaseI want them out of hereHe said to me, I want them goneBecause you see - oh dont you seeNone of us are getting any youngerYouve got to follow your noseAnd if it tells you that youve got to goWell thats because, theyre everywhere,Theyre everywhereSo we called in those men, those horrible menWe set them to work on the rooftopsYou see their van is very plainAnd I know theyre too ashamedTo wear their by appointment badges anymoreSometimes they use vaseline, sometimes they use the pillIve often seen them with a gunBut as the years go by, old habits seem to dieAnd nowadays they knockatize them allOh youve got to watch outAs you wander round the square in the morningOh theyre everywhere, theyre everywhere
