lyrics

Dance, Children Dance
Words & music by Neil Pike ©2016
Well the wind blew in like a circle of sin
Swept us all before it
You can close your eyes or you can argue why
but you know you can’t ignore it
The rain came down with a terrible sound
Washed us all away
And some of us tried, most of us cried
But there’s just one thing to say…

CHORUS:
Dance children dance
See how it feels when ya kick up your heels and
Dance, children dance
There is no point in crying
Dance, children dance
Take it back to the start with a song in your heart and
Dance, children dance
But don’t you ever stop trying

Hey, in for a penny, in for a pound
It’s time to bring the curtain down
We burnt the village to save the town
That’s what they always say.
Life is a bitch so eat the rich
‘cause they’ll leave you lying in a ditch
With a stomach full of nothing & a nasty twitch
As they drag their gold away…

CHORUS:
Dance children dance
See how it feels when ya kick up your heels and
Dance, children dance
There is no point in crying
Dance, children dance
Take it back to the start with a song in your heart and
Dance, children dance
And don’t you ever stop trying

And the bankers grew fat as we grew thin
& the food in your belly is the measure of everything
Time to pull our leaders in, it seems we’ve reached the end
The truth of the matter is they don’t give a damn
And ya may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb
So keep your eyes open and do what ya can
And share it round again

CHORUS:
Dance children dance
See how it feels when ya kick up your heels and
Dance, children dance
There is no point in crying
Dance, children dance
Take it back to the start with a song in your heart and
Dance, children dance
And don’t you ever stop trying

repeat CHORUS.

The Pagan Love Cult image

The Pagan Love Cult Australia

The Pagan Love Cult is the longest running psychedelic musical group in Oztralia. Operating in one form or another since the 1970s and based in the tiny rainforest-shrouded hippie town of Nimbin, their music is a hypnotic mixture of acoustic instruments, emotive vocals, swirling soundscapes, solid drums and intelligent lyrics. Close your eyes, relax and take the journey... ... more
