I am the Maypole
Dancing with the sun
I wear my ribbons white and red
I am the morning
Flowers in my hair
I am your son and heir Mother
I am the Mast horse riding out to war
I wear my ribbons white and blue
I am the arrow
Stinging in your side
I will never let you go
I am the last king
Standing on the hill
I wear my ribbons white, red and green
I am the visions
The night before the fair
When you don’t want me anymore
And you’re not there
I prefer this one from the Boys From Swindon....

Maypole
Maypole
Maypole you’ve spun me round and knocked me off my axis mundi
Maypole
Maypole
Maypole the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day
and everything decays
Yes, everything decays
Forest tumbles down to make the soil
Planets fall apart
Just to feed the stars and stuff their larders
And what made me think we’re any better
and what made me think we’d last forever
was I so naive?
of course it all unweaves
Pyramids and palaces to dust
Empires crumble in
Wedding cake begins to must and molder
And what made me think we’re any better
and what made me think we’d last forever
was I so naive?
failing to perceive
