The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
Spreading wisdom and cash around
Fed the starving and housed the poor
Showed the vatican what gold's for
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Oh my!
Peter Pumpkinhead pulled them all
Emptied churches and shopping malls
Where he spoke, it would raise the roof
Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth
But he made too many enemies...
Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
Governments who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals failed outright
Peter merely said
Any kind of love is alright
But he made too many enemies...
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
He died grinning on live TV
Hanging there he looked a lot like you
And an awful lot like me!
But he made too many enemies...
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
Oh my oh my oh!
Doesn't it make you want to cry oh?

The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Peter Pumpkinhead llegó al pueblo
Esparciendo sabiduría y dinero
Alimentó a los hambrientos y dio hogar a los pobres
Mostró al Vaticano para qué es el oro
Pero hizo demasiados enemigos
De la gente que nos mantendría de rodillas
¡Hurra por Peter Pumpkin!
¿Quién rezará por Peter Pumpkinhead?
¡Ay, Dios mío!
Peter Pumpkinhead los atrajo a todos
Vació iglesias y centros comerciales
Donde hablaba, levantaba el techo
Peter Pumpkinhead dijo la verdad
Pero hizo demasiados enemigos...
Peter Pumpkinhead avergonzó
A los gobiernos que difamarían su nombre
Conspiraciones y escándalos sexuales fallaron por completo
Peter simplemente dijo
Cualquier tipo de amor está bien
Pero hizo demasiados enemigos...
Peter Pumpkinhead era demasiado bueno
Lo clavaron a un trozo de madera
Murió sonriendo en la televisión en vivo
Colgado allí se parecía mucho a ti
¡Y muchísimo a mí!
Pero hizo demasiados enemigos...
¡Hurra por Peter Pumpkin!
¿Quién rezará por Peter Pumpkin?
¡Hurra por Peter Pumpkinhead!
¡Ay, Dios mío, ay!
¿No te dan ganas de llorar, ay?
