Open in app
I got all a quiver when I first heard about the
concept of the neutron bomb.
thought, imagine that,
a selective sort of weapon.
For example,
the orchard here would survive
unscathed a neutron bomb attack,
not a bonewood twitter
in this entire building.

The problem would involve us,
rather seriously, so I'm told.
However, nothing's perfect.
I thought, great idea,
they've just got it as usual,
exactly the wrong way around.
It's up to me to put things right
again.
I don't understand,
I don't mind to understand,
I just get a little tired sometimes.

I  don't want you to think I'm
cruel or anything
I know it's difficult to learn
a chorus like that immediately
A lot of words and they go by
at a tremendous rate of speed
So what I've done
out of the goodness of my heart
Is write 17 verses
to give you plenty of time to
Really get it smoothed out
The only way we'll be cutting down
on the number of verses
is if I feel you're learning
the chorus very quickly.
This is called Incentive.
