What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In the middle of the journey, in the middle of the day
2
I came to a city and I stopped to ask the way
3
What does it matter? Said the people with a sneer
4
You can't get there from here
5
You may be a gallant runner, you may hobble with the lame
6
There are forty crooked hedgerows and they all look just the same
7
Traveling gets weary, you get funny in the head
8
Stop right here instead
9
Well, says I, I was only passing through
10
I'd like to stop and rest a while, it's true
11
Then I asked them for a job to do
12
They gave me life insurance and a straw to chew
13
Welcome to the flatlands
14
All the maps agree
15
Far as the eye can see
16
It's level, dead level
17
Flatlands: life meanders by
18
Chew a straw and watch the grass grow high
19
And it's stand we stand together, fall you fall alone
20
Authority's a leash of love to bring you safely home
21
Fools look out for trouble where foreign breezes blow
22
Tell your children so
23
They've got to keep things ticking, they must never go on strike
24
They'll be standing there till Doomsday with their fingers in the dyke
25
There's faith and hope and patience and patience is the best
26
Turn your face from the rest
27
Well, says I, I'm much obliged to you
28
Everywhere I go I'm learning something new
29
If I understand your point of view
30
You don't believe we're dying our whole life through
31
Welcome to the flatlands...
32
And if they waste nothing they can keep their little pile
33
And if they say nothing they will not be on file
34
And if they see nothing no one will see them
35
No one will take down their name
36
And if they do not panic the pain will vanish soon
37
And if they never sing they'll never be out of tune
38
And if they are faithful they will get their reward
39
And if they are meek they will be spared
40
Well, says I, I was only passing through
41
I'd better get a move on 'cause the days are few
42
Poppies are red, cornflowers blue
43
The scythe is sharp the mowing's due
44
Welcome to the flatlands...
45
Wonder where the flying years go
46
Chew a straw and watch the grass grow high
