Big Green Blues
Now that dawn has arrived
Could you please stop this
Seemingly endless
Beating on your drum
Now that dawn has arrived
Would you please stop this
Seemingly endless
Beating senseless
On your drum
Because you know you've been beating all night long
And now my head feels like it's been battered
By the butt of a gun
Now that dawn has arrived
Would you please stop your
Wounded wailing
And all out of key
Now that dawn has arrived
Would you please stop your
Wounded wailing
All about your failing
And all out of key
You know I think you might feel much better babe
If you just went away somewhere
And lay down quietly
Yes I do
And I think I might feel much better too
Naturally
Now that dawn has arrived
Could you please curtail this chronic need
To keep on competing
And beating
And all on your drum
Now that dawn has arrived
Would you please curtail this chronic and compulsive need
To keep on competing
And beating
And bleating
And all on your drum
Oh you might think it sounds quite good
But I preferred what I heard
Down at the creche marquee
Yesterday afternoon
Yes I did
When I was down there with my baby
Now that dawn has arrived
Would you please cease this
Seemingly endless
Beating senseless
On your drum
All night long
Now that dawn has arrived
Would you please cease this
Seemingly endless
Beating senseless
On your drum
All night long
Well it's 5.30am now
And the rest of us here
Would really like the chance
The chance to hear some birdsong
