Don't stand me down, or around,    for I'll never stop saying your name       I was the one who came rushing to see you believed in your strategy   Followed your course    Around this time, yes, I came near to remorse,    I never quite did, of course    But then, things were no worse       And you were the one I was waiting to see, believed implicitly   But I never took tea    I was aIways in doubt    about working it out,    hence my reasons to shout       were in permanent doubt       It's all changed now       Now, though it seems I am losing,    it's not true.    And though it seems there's confusion,    it's also not true       As if I could not see    believed implicitly    in the tales of the British democracy    How I swooned to the stories of Royal victories   But the books of history were fairy tale stories    But, never one to doubt    and not first think about,    I restrained all my doubt,    now I'm working it out.    Your good sister, it seems,    is nowhere to be seen,    they don't talk of Kathleen,    things are not how they seem       There's no beauty any more       Now, though it seems I am losing,    it's not true    And though it seems there's confusion, it's also not true    You say wait    but some things don't wait any more    Well, I've been to the promised Land    I've been there    I've also been down to the bottom    and looked up from despair       Now, though it seems I am losing,    t's not true    Now, though it seems there's confusion it's also not true    Some things won't wait any more       Don't stand me down, or around,    for I'll never stop saying your name       Here is a protest
