Do As I Say Not As I Do
Ed Harcourt

Now the fat cats are crying over wasted milk*

And the trees are bending over to make room for the moon

Put a plague on the house of cards they built

There's a ship on the horizon with a menacing metal harpoon


Do as I say, not as I do

Do as I say, not as I do


Vice is a virtue with cameras and curfews

Little scaremongers of impending doom

Political medusas make us stare like statues

Empty all the pockets of the victims of the baby boom


Do as I say, not as I do

Why should we listen to you?

Do as I say, not as I do


Oh to all the people that I might have offended

It wasn't that intended I hope we can amend it


Do as I say, not as I do


Oh to all the people that I might have offended

You probably needed it, so take your cake and eat it



When we were the bright sparks

Firing off the circuits in the right parts

Flicking every switch, blasting holes right through your blood clots

Swimming through the red cells that bind me to you


If we hit the ice age

Should we start again or turn the next page

Picking up a pick-axe, playing harps like a ribcage

Shaking off the cobwebs that keep me from you


Do as I say, not as I do

Do as I say, not as I do


Oh to all the people that I might have offended

You probably needed it, so take your cake and eat it


Why should we listen to you

Why should we listen to you


Do as I say, not as I do

Do as I say, not as I do
