Circular Letter - Kevin Ayers

Some people sent me a circular letter

Explaining how their ideas were better

And asking me to join their gang

They said they were select

So many people they reject

I read it carefully to give them a chance

Looked like instructions for a new kind of dance

With mystical innuendos

Most confusing

But quite amusing

So many different kinds of club to join

So many versions of the same old coin

Do what you like with your convictions

I believe them all

But if I don’t t answer when you call

Guess I’ll be up against that wall again and again

Here comes that postman again

Another invitation

Uh, this ones really cute

It says Ў°surrender or we shoot'

So I’m sending this salute

Cause I’m a member too of any circle

That belongs to you

Making a circle is just drawing a line

Around some space any time and place

Just add the details of your face

It’s hallo sparrow paradoxical

Oh so auto tautological

Maybe vaguely ecological too, oo poop pee do

Home brewed, half nude terminology

Private, drive it yourself mythology

Everybody needs some ology now…

Here comes the same thing again and again

Oo ee here comes that postman again

With another invitation, this one’s really cute

It says surrender or we shoot"

So I’m sending this salute

Remember to stand at attention
