Wigwam

A wigwam or wickiup is a domed room dwelling used by certain Native American tribes. The term wickiup is generally used to label these kinds of dwellings in American Southwest and West. Wigwam is usually applied to these structures in the American Northeast. The use of these terms by non-Native Americans is somewhat arbitrary and can refer to many distinct types of Native American structures regardless of location or cultural group. The wigwam is not to be confused with the Native Plains tipi which has a very different construction, structure, and use. more »

We're here, said Daemon Duncetan, all about a little raise
To help us get through to those better days
'cause we've been united and our colour is true
And we really mean business and could do it with you

Oh yes, said Holy Peter, standing by the pearly gate
I ain't sure that the Master's home right now,
  but if you can wait
I can take up a message all about your beef
And have him check it over and maybe see about relief

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread without delay

Daemon, said Peter, that's about the tallest order
  I ever did hear
I ain't sure I can help you, he said pickin' his ear
'cause it's written that in practice your loss is your gain
And sweet forever after, but what was that again?

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread without delay

Because our granaries are all empty
There's not enough to go around
And our cabbage crops have not yielded substitute
And there hasn't been an abundance
Of alternatives offhand lately
And our miners are striking these happy bourgeois days
And while you're at it how about gettin' him
To rearrange the code of equality at large
Of distribution of power of those who've been in charge
And if not would you please just record
That one Daemon Duncetan tendered his request
And retired at the Lord's grace into rest

Said Peter, this really is not in my line
I'm all into changin' water to wine
And I don't want to disappoint you and I wouldn't want
  to be a drag
But what you're requesting just isn't my bag

Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away
Turn stone to bread or Yorkshire pudding
Turn stone to bread without delay
