XTC - Skylarking (Remastered 2001)

Sacrificial Bonfire (Remastered 2001)

Fire, they cried, so evil must die
And yields are good, so men pull back hoods and smile
The scapegoat blood spilled, spittled and grilled
It crackled and spat, and children grew fat on the meat

Change must be earnt
Sacrificial bonfire must burn
Burn up the old
Ring in the new

Burn up the old
Ring in the new

Assembled on high, silhouette against the sky
The smoke prayed and pranced, and sparks did their dance in the wind
Disguises wore thin with less and less skin
And the clothes that were draped was all that told man from ape

Change must be earnt
Sacrificial bonfire must reign
Reign over good
Banish the bad

Oh, reign over good
Banish the bad, oh
