[00:00:00] A League Of Notions - Al Stewart

[00:00:21] I'm here sitting in the wreck of Europe

[00:00:24] With a map of Europe

[00:00:25] Spread out in a hall of Versailles

[00:00:27] And every single nationality and principality

[00:00:30] Have come for a piece of the pie

[00:00:33] I'm sitting in the wreck of Europe

[00:00:34] With a map of Europe

[00:00:36] And the lines and the borders are gone

[00:00:38] We've got to do this jigsaw puzzle

[00:00:40] It's an awful muddle

[00:00:41] But somehow we've got to go on

[00:00:45] Lawrence of Arabia is waiting in the wings

[00:00:49] He's got some Arab sheikhs and kings

[00:00:52] And we're in debt to them somehow

[00:00:56] Lawrence of Arabia has got this perfect vision

[00:01:00] Gonna sell him down the river

[00:01:03] There's no time for him now

[00:01:09] I think I'm gonna take a piece of Russia

[00:01:12] And a Piece of Germany

[00:01:13] And give them to Poland again

[00:01:15] I'll put together Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia

[00:01:18] And hope that is how they'll remain

[00:01:21] Then I'll take a bit of Turkey

[00:01:22] Then a lot of Turkey

[00:01:24] This is all quite a heady affair

[00:01:26] There's Persia and Iraq to pick up

[00:01:27] And there's Churchill's hiccup

[00:01:28] And we can't leave it up in the air

[00:01:33] Woodrow Wilson waves his fourteen points around

[00:01:37] And says The time to act is now

[00:01:39] Won't get this opportunity again

[00:01:44] Woodrow Wilson has his fourteen points

[00:01:47] But Clemenceau turns to Lloyd George

[00:01:50] And says You know that

[00:01:51] God himself had only ten

[00:01:57] Today I'm carried by a league of notions

[00:01:59] By a league of notions

[00:02:01] I don't think I quite understand

[00:02:02] I only know from this commotion

[00:02:05] There's a chance that we could turn

[00:02:08] The world in the palm of our hands

[00:02:10] By a league of notions

[00:02:13] I don't think I quite understand

[00:02:14] I only know from this commotion

[00:02:15] There's a chance that we could turn

[00:02:17] The world in the palm of our hands

[00:02:40] Voices in the corridors of power

[00:02:43] Candles burning hour by hour

[00:02:46] Still you know that to the victors go the spoils

[00:02:50] Such a great responsibility to make it fair

[00:02:55] And there must be some reparations now

[00:02:59] And don't forget the oil

[00:03:03] Today I'm carried by a league of notions

[00:03:06] By a league of notions

[00:03:09] I don't think I quite understand

[00:03:10] I only know from this commotion

[00:03:11] There's a chance that we could turn

[00:03:13] The world in the palm of our hands

[00:03:15] Today I'm carried by a league of notions

[00:03:17] By a league of notions

[00:03:19] I don't think I quite understand

[00:03:20] I only know from this commotion

[00:03:22] There's a chance that we could turn

[00:03:24] The world in the palm of our hands

[00:03:36] Pax vobiscum

[00:03:38] Wo-Oh Pax vobiscum
