1
A dreaded sunny day
2
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
3
Keats and Yeats are on your side
4
A dreaded sunny day
5
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
6
Keats and Yeats are on your side
7
While Wilde is on mine
8
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
9
All those people, all those lives
10
Where are they now?
11
With loves, and hates
12
And passions just like mine
13
They were born
14
And then they lived
15
And then they died
16
It seems so unfair
17
I want to cry
18
You say : "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
19
And you claim these words as your own
20
But I've read well, and I've heard them said
21
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
22
If you must write prose/poems
23
The words you use should be your own
24
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
25
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
26
With a big nose, who knows
27
And who trips you up and laughs
28
When you fall
29
Who'll trip you up and laugh
30
When you fall
31
You say : "'Ere long done do does did"
32
Words which could only be your own
33
And then produce the text
34
From whence was ripped
35
(Some dizzy whore, 1804)
36
A dreaded sunny day
37
So let's go where we're happy
38
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
39
Oh, Keats and Yeats are on your side
40
A dreaded sunny day
41
So let's go where we're wanted
42
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
43
Keats and Yeats are on your side
44
But you lose
45
'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine
46
Sure!
