Robert Wyatt Little Red Robin Hood Hit The Road lyrics

In the garden of England
Dead moles lie inside their holes
The dead end tunnels
Crumble in the rain underfoot
Innit a shame?

Can't you see them?
Can't you see them?
Roots can't hold them
Bugs console them

I fight with the handle
Of my little brown broom
I pull out the wires of the telephone

I hurt in the head
And I hurt in the acting bone
Now I smash up the telly
With remains of the broken phone


I fighting for the crust
Of the little brown loaf
I want it I want it I want it give it to me
(I give it you back when I finish the lunch tea)

I lie in the road try
To trip up the passing cars
Yes me and the hedgehog
We bursting the tires all day

As we roll down the highway
Towards the setting sun
I reflect on the life of the Highwayman
Yum, yum

Now I smash up the telly
And what's left of the broken phone
