Jerusalem
It was the fault of the government
I was walking down the street
When I tripped up on a discarded banana skin
And on my way down I caught the side of my head
On a protruding brick chip
It was the government's fault
It was the fault of the government
I was very let down
From the budget I was expecting a one million quid handout
I was very disappointed
It was the government's fault
It was the fault of the government
I became a semi-automatic type person
And I didn't have a pen
And I didn't heve a condom
It was the fault of the government
I think I'll emigrate to Sweden or Poland
And get looked after properly by government
Jerusalem (repeat several, several times)
Bring Bow of burning gold:
Bring Arrows of desire:
Bring me Spear: O clouds unfold!
And though I rest from Mental Fight,
And though sword sleeps in hand
I will not rest til Jerusalem is built
In Englands green and pleasant Land.
The Fall (UK post punk band),
I always thought I was hearing two distinct artistic voices in this song.
I know, I should take it to culture.

This description, minus the Bible bit, sounds a bit like the gun toting, juggling Carnies that I reported on some time ago. In either case, I don't like the sound of it
Religious activity in Clark Park?
Jerusalem
(with humble apologies to William Blake)
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Clark Park's meadows green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On Clark Park's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our own Spruce Hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Atop these cov'd Satanic rills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In UC's green and pleasant land.
