Lyrics
Footnote
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Perfection of a kind was what he was after
The poetry he invented was easy to understand
He knew human folly like the back of his hand
He had an interest in armies and fleets
When he laughed respectable senators laughed at his feet
But when he cried the little children died in the streets
