Our national anthem's awful, all that silly 'God save the Queen' business. I much prefer the Welsh's anthem.
But our anthem should either be John Lennon's 'Imagine', or:
A carnival for the human race,
cotton candy, happy face,
A child talking with his mouth full,
Girlfriend gets stuffed animal,
A festive mood is all around,
Another world is what we've found,
Step right up, let's make a deal;
Let's ride on the ferris wheel!
You know there's something lurking underneath the shape,
with a mask over his head, and makeup on his face,
Into the house of mirrors go a clown and his elf,
Take a look in the mirror and see the clown in yourself!
Oh! (spinning, grinning, believeing, deceiving, whirling, twirling, confusing, amusing, discovery, recovery, inherency, transparancy, fusion, conclusion, reality, fatality)
If you want to know what's behind the show, you ride my carousel and enter life's jail cell,
love and blood begin to meld, you lost the self that you once held,
Merry go round in your head, awake, asleep, alive or dead.
Hey you!
The clown that painted a smile on you is now the one unmasking you,
Animated scenes unwind,
Dormant figures come to life,
Entangled in your own web,
A twisted tunnel up ahead,
A glimpse of light, a drop of dew,
You slide into, slide into, slide into, slide into the swimming pool!
A roller coaster ride into the rivers of your mind,
The currents merge, your feelings surge, your life's a pantomime,
Beauty is the spiral going round and round the beast,
Without the vampire effect, the carnival is deceased!
Oh! (spinning, grinning, believing, deceiving, whirling, twirling, confusing, amusing, discovery, recovery, inherency, transparancy, fusion, conclusion, reality, fatality)
If you want to know what's behind the show, you ride my carousel, and enter life's jail cell,
Love and blood begin to meld, you lost the self that you once held,
Merry go round in your head, awake asleep alive or dead!
Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun.
Roly poly,
Topsy turvy,
Hang upside down,
Fall to the ground.
I think Im' going to be sick!
Know what I'm getting at? I'd love to hear the whole country singing avantgarde for the national anthem.
And personally, I think I deserve a medal for deciphering those wierd lyrics.
