Momus - Little Girls lyrics

Little girls, little girls will save us
Little virgins pure as snow
When the end of the world is upon us
When there's no place left to go

The public loves a flogging
Or a public execution
When you behead the blood is red
There's no other solution
The public loves severity
The cutting-off of tongues
The torture of the foreigner
The rattle of the guns

But little girls, little girls will save us
Though they may seem weak and frail
The human headed Blengins of Calverine Island
Save the world from epic fail

And our life is a nest of vipers
Our behaviour a world of pain
And our life is windscreen wipers
Trying to keep up with the rain

Speak harshly to your fellow man and
Slap him when he slackens
Try imposing martial law
Sit back and see what happens
The milk of human kindness is
Old and out of date
The public needs a populist to
Make the nation great

But little girls, little girls will save us
Though they may seem weak and frail
The human headed Blengins of Calverine Island
Save the world from epic fail

The public is sadistic and it's
Bloodlust knows no bounds
The tiniest infraction and it throws
You to the hounds
The public needs a figurehead
A filthy kind of father
To objectify it's anger
And it's hatred of the other

But we'll defeat the Glandolinian vandals
For the sake of the Vivian Girls
With the cumulonimbus behind us
The dearest flowers in all the world

Little girls, little girls will save us
In the lightning and the summer snow
When the end of the world is upon us
When there's no place left to go
