[XTC - Let's Make A Den lyrics]
Let's make a den what shall we use?
Make it out of hay who will be leader?
In it we can play at both being
Mothers and fathers until we have
Children of our own let's make a den
What shall we use? Make it out of wood
Who will be leader?
Wouldn't it be good if we could fight
Off rival gangs and take total
Possession of the hill
For the rest of our days?
Isn't that what we can all look
Forward to when we grow up?
Isn't that what we can all look forward to?
Behind the door, women and men
Love and war inside of our den
Let's make a den what shall we use?
Make it out of bricks who will be leader?
In it how the sticks and stones will fly
But my oh my won't we have
Fun when later on we patch it up?
Let's make a den what shall we use?
Make it from cement who will be leader?
In it we can pent up all of
Our fears but give presents each Christmas
Like there was nothing ever wrong
For the rest of our days
Isn't that what we can all look
Forward to when we grow up?
Isn't that what we can all look forward to?
Behind the door, women and men
Love and war inside of their den
Well you can wear your
Brand new nurse's outfit
And I can wear my brand new cowboy suit
Everything unchanging
Just furniture arranging let's make a den
What shall we use? Make it underground
Who will be leader?
Protect us from the flash and sound of
The big stick they drop just
To stop us from cuddling and hanging on
For the rest of our days
Make it out of hay who will be leader?
In it we can play at both being
Mothers and fathers until we have
Children of our own let's make a den
What shall we use? Make it out of wood
Who will be leader?
Wouldn't it be good if we could fight
Off rival gangs and take total
Possession of the hill
For the rest of our days?
Isn't that what we can all look
Forward to when we grow up?
Isn't that what we can all look forward to?
Behind the door, women and men
Love and war inside of our den
Let's make a den what shall we use?
Make it out of bricks who will be leader?
In it how the sticks and stones will fly
But my oh my won't we have
Fun when later on we patch it up?
Let's make a den what shall we use?
Make it from cement who will be leader?
In it we can pent up all of
Our fears but give presents each Christmas
Like there was nothing ever wrong
For the rest of our days
Isn't that what we can all look
Forward to when we grow up?
Isn't that what we can all look forward to?
Behind the door, women and men
Love and war inside of their den
Well you can wear your
Brand new nurse's outfit
And I can wear my brand new cowboy suit
Everything unchanging
Just furniture arranging let's make a den
What shall we use? Make it underground
Who will be leader?
Protect us from the flash and sound of
The big stick they drop just
To stop us from cuddling and hanging on
For the rest of our days
