Progress everywhere today does seem to come so very heavily disguised as chaos.
Stately as a Galleon (1978)
Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.
Stately as a Galleon (1978)
They look quite promising in the shop, and not entirely without hope when I get them back into my wardrobe. But then, when I put them on they tend to deteriorate with a very strange rapidity and one feels sorry for them.
Stately as a Galleon (1978)
I was allowed to slave for them
For ever and evermore.
Oh, I was allowed to fetch and carry
For my Three Brothers,
Jim and Bob and Harry.
If I should go before the rest of you,
Break not a flower, nor inscribe a stone,
Nor, when I’m gone, speak in a Sunday voice,
But be the usual selves That I have known.
