Hang Low - Momus

I’ve set my heart on being good

Very friendly

And I will carve my heart of wood

Splendid, splendid

I’ll ride a dragon made of jade

And speak no evil

I think it’s strange to be afraid

We’re only people

So hang low, hang low

And do no evil

Like aeroplanes on snow

We’re only people

Make sure the tray tables are stowed

To have here or to go?

And now the blossom fails to show

For we are landing

On every lovely yellow night

With spousy piety

I shall perform the ancient rite

With due sobriety

And each uncomplicated thing

Is never-ending

And every lovely song you sing

Is all-befriending

So hang low, hang low

And see no evil

So hang low, hang low

And see no evil

Like aeroplanes on snow

We’re only people

Make sure the tray tables are stowed

To have here or to hold

And now the blossom falls so slow

It seems to glow

And I will catch a Eurostar

At Waterloo station

And I will play my blue guitar

In desperation

But hang low, hang low

And be no evil

Like aeroplanes on show

We’re only people

Make sure the tray tables are stowed

To have here or to go

And now the blossom falls so slow

We’re only people

So hang low, hang low

And do no evil

Like aeroplanes on show

We are landing

Make sure the tray tables are stowed

To have here or to go

And now the blossom seems to glow

We’re only people
