Robin Rendell's Over And Done Too Soon

Another from the vaults, this one from 2008. No apolgies for reposting this favourite of mine. #folksong #folk #originalsong #singersongwriter #protest Over And Done Too Soon Robin J Rendell © 2008 It’s been a long time comin’ Over and done too soon Gonna scrape the sky in old Manhattan Swing on the chin of the moon There ain’t no Jerusalem In the towers of neon signs Jesus is just the son of a carpenter And water don’t taste like wine Dealers in the temples In their honeymoon trousseaux You’d think with all their fancy education They’d know somethin’ into nothin’ won’t go It don’t make no difference When two and two gets them five They know it’s wrong but hell it don’t matter The bees are still in the hive. So beware of promises by tattooed goddesses Who keep their prodigies in the zoo In their ivory fortresses, the hares and tortoises Prepare for the prophecies to come true There ain’t no room for the hobo On the gravy train today They’ve lost the boxcars to Pullman club diners And somebody’s gonna pay Stealin’ crumbs from the table The mice have choked on the cheese They don’t need no bread for their new communion Only the dirt on their knees Where were the politicians The fathers of the law When this new weapon of mass seduction Slept with an overpaid whore Who will stand at the altar Live by an old-fashioned creed Don’t hold your breath for no retribution Martyrs don’t die for their greed So beware of promises by tattooed goddesses Who keep their prodigies in the zoo In their ivory fortresses, the hares and tortoises Prepare for the prophecies to come true © Robin J Rendell.
