Lyrics

Peter Pudding's Return

Hello my friends, it?s me again
Don?t look so surprised, you know very well why I?m here tonight
As I?m sure you?ll recollect there?s a debt I must collect
The first child who can sing is mine

I?ve traveled far and long underneath the stars
To find my way again through blazing desert and swampy fen
I?ve seen worlds you?ll never know, with your hearts that beat so slowly
And now I?ve come to take what?s mine is mine

Those days are gone, long gone
back then I was a fool wasting precious time on worms like you
but now you?ll see I?ve changed, everything is not the same
so bring the girl to me and I?ll be gone

Yes there was a day when you all could sing and play
And it?s cruel what I must do
But the Beast in me is just the fool in you
So blame yourself you?ll thank me when I?m through

The Beast in me is just the fool in you
So blame yourself you?ll thank me when I?m through

Those days are gone, long gone
So off to war you go with an empty quiver and splintered bow
And now your history plays like a desperate serenade
And the Reign of Peter Pudding has begun
