Rush: The Trees
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.
There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
And example of such philosophical depth...
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
Don’t be alarmed, now
It’s just a spring clean for
The May queen.
Taxman Lyrics by the Beatles
Let me tell you how it will be,
Theres one for you, nineteen for me,
Cause Im the Taxman,
Yeah, Im the Taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I dont take it all.
Cos Im the Taxman,
Yeah, Im the Taxman.
(If you drive a car ), Ill tax the street,
(If you try to sit ), Ill tax your seat,
(If you get too cold ), Ill tax the heat,
(If you take a walk ), Ill tax your feet.
Taxman.
Cause Im the Taxman,
Yeah, Im the Taxman.
Dont ask me what I want it for
(Taxman! Mister Wilson!)
If you dont want to pay some more
(Taxman! Mister Heath!),
Cause Im the Taxman,
Yeah, Im the Taxman.
Now my advice for those who die, (Taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes, (Taxman!)
Cause Im the Taxman,
Yeah, Im the Taxman.
And youre working for no-one but me,
(Taxman).
