The Idea Songtext
von Adam and the Ants

I went to the zoo
To look at the animals
The first thing I saw
Was a wall full of handicapped

Some wearing green hats
And all sucking chocky bars
So I went and looked at
The three horned chameleon

The idea

He walked up and down
Just trying to get close to me
A split little hand
Scratching at the glass

I looked at the snakes
And I looked at the crocodiles
You′d better show me the man
Who made all of this

The idea


The idea

I could be religious
If you didn't have to kneel down
I could be religious
If a god would say, "Hello"

I could be religious
If an angel touched my shoulder
I could be religious
If they set the hymns to disco
Like this

Holy holy holy
Lord god almighty
God in three persons
Beloved trinity
INSTRUMENTAL
Holy holy holy
All the saints adore thee
Christ in three persons
Beloved trinity
