Jon Wiltshire - Pillar to Post Lyrics

We're running out of time
The age-old lie
Tell that to my dead ancestors
Tell that to the redstarts
Tell that to the mushroom

We are headed for death
All the more reasons to live
We may be done
All the more reasons to love
All the reasons

Oh we're so full of anxiousness
But the rain keeps pouring down
And the storms keep swirling round

Oh I'm so full of ideas
I've been full for years
I've been foolish

What are we waiting for?
There's no knocking at the door
And anyway, the West can't last
Like us all, we must make the past the past

O Grandmother!
Who's sitting by the fire
Conspiring our finest hour

Climate change won't change life and death
It just changes all the rest
We must gather courage

Move the jumpers
That act goalposts
It isn't anybody's fault
It is everybody's fate
The fact that we are too late

There's poison in my wine
And there's poison inside
It is pointless picking sides

We don't know how we'll die
But it's worth thinking it through...

What a travesty!
To let the Earth bleed
But it still hurts
And it still hurts

All my life
I was full of peace
But I didn't notice
So all my life
I'm pillar to post
Trying to be God
But I became a ghost

We are all one God
We are all one child
I am all the apple I eat
We are soon to be dead

Oh the meaning of life is in an ice cream
It's a builder smoking
It's the ants building their nest
it's a civil servant
It's a journalist on an overnight
It's a nightingale, it is the night
It's making love in the afternoon
It is dealing with bad news
It's dismantling the fence
It is not making sense

If you want the truth
Make a joke
