Or a pastor of muppets

People are people
They've got to live
All about the mulberry bush
With a bottle full of fizz
In the eighteenth hole
Putting off the green
Who cares scares in the bunker
In tears, in tears
Living in the real world
Real people, real people
I want to be real
I'm an imaginary deal
Let it rip like thunder
The sport of the cracking willow
Feel the rain upon my face
Keep the wind as my pillow

You can say I'm better
Or you can say I am the same,
I would love you better if you could
remember my name
Name, I want to live forever
No, I want to die in a flame
Come on write me a letter
People remember my name

Away, all away now
Oh you throw it all away
Well I've seen it all before
Like a desert floor
When you've thrown
It all away
Away, oh away now
Throw it all away
See that open door
Watch the ocean pour
When you have thrown
It all away
Away, all away now
You have thrown it all away
Well in the roll of a dice
Between the fire and the ice
When you've thrown it
All away
Away, oh away now
Throw it all awy
Like so many times before
Could've been rich but now you're poor
Because you've thrown
It all away

Drip, drop
warmth of Spain in your pale cream
Milk white warm
And sadness for the year that's been
But like a mother's breast
Full of life giving
For the year to come
Miniature brothers
Miniature sisters go
walking through the forest
Praising the cool silent winter Earth
Healing flower footsteps
Bloom in their path
Praising the life of this good Earth
What purity you can read
In their books of green leaves
Standing up like flutes or reeds
But heads bowed down
In prayer, humility
Or perhaps
Just loving the Earth
As it smiles on them
In it's darkest months
Growing them in its womb
Like eggs, their bulbs will
burst forth in birth
Growing strong with Mother Earth's milk
Snow white babies crying out in joy
Snow white children running through the woods
In their snowshoes girl and boy
Telling all the fairy tales of childhood

I've got the road hump
It's sticks in my ear
Like a sugar lump
I want to swallow it clear
But it goes, thump, thump
Every time a lorry comes near
And my chair just jumps
And my windows shake with fear
I've got the road hump
I've been living here too long
The road hump that just rings out strong
Like a beef steak rump
That's too tough to chew
I've got it stuck in my gut
Like some kind of glue
That road hump
Like a bump to my head
That road hump
Gives me bumps in my bed
It's like a slow jump off a high cliff
I need to vote Trump or else smoke a spliff

I can't stand to see the Ashes fall
Though I know our backs are up against the wall
I can't stand to hear the Ashes fall
Another ax, another chain and ball
In our hands the keys to all
Will we understand when nature calls?
I can't stand to see the Ashes fall
All the Ash leaves, all their keys
Keys and locks, locks and keys
Another lock, one more key
Another prisoner is set free
In their limbs one disease
Take wind or whim, brings them to their knees
In our hand one more ball
In our mouths one last call
Who will answer the Ash's need?
See the fall of the twin bladed seed
One more flock of birds flown free
One more hawk flies across the sea
But one more knock on the Ash's door
Then another, then one time more
Can't you save the Ash from death's maw
Can't you help save just one more tree
