'Ad that William Blake, on my bus 'Ad a 'bow of burning gold' I said " you can't bring that on 'ere Didn't do what 'e was told Produced these 'arrows of desire' The passengers got quite fruity Chucked 'im off before his sword woke up Well, I 'ad to do 'me duty
Bugger me! I looked behind Missiles 'shootin' past 'me ears 'E was riding this 'chariot of fire' And 'chuckin all these spears 'E told the clouds - to unfold 'Then 'e overtook – the sod I told 'im to get off and walk 'Im and the 'Lamb of God'!
I looked as 'e speed away Over 'those 'clouded hills' Me countenance - less than divine I 'ad one of me pills Thought about his building plans Though I admire a man with vision 'E 'ad better not go building 'ere Not without planning permission
Well Jerusalem has trouble enough Don't think 'e will improve it England's pastures green or not Not the best idea to move it Move 'the wailing wall' to Surrey? Is 'e the one to try? 'Aint e' the bloke that rhymes 'Symmetry' with 'eye'?
