Let's Make A Den - XTC

Let’s make a den

What shall we use?

Make it out of hay

Who will be leader?

In it we can play at both being mothers and fathers until we have

Children of our own

Let’s make a den

What shall we use?

Make it out of wood

Who will be leader?

Wouldn’t it be good if we could fight off rival gangs and take total

Possession of the hill

For the rest of our days?

Isn’t that what we can all look forward to when we grow up?

Isn’t that what we can all look forward to?

Behind the door, women and men

Love and war inside of our den

Let’s make a den

What shall we use?

Make it out of bricks

Who will be leader?

In it how the sticks and stones will fly but my oh my won’t we have

Fun when later on we patch it up?

Let’s make a den

What shall we use?

Make it from cement

Who will be leader?

In it we can pent up all of our fears but give presents each Christmas

Like there was nothing ever wrong

For the rest of our days

Isn’t that what we can all look forward to when we grow up?

Isn’t that what we can all look forward to?

Behind the door, women and men

Love and war inside of their den

Well you can wear your brand new nurse’s outfit

And I can wear my brand new cowboy suit

Everything unchanging

Just furniture arranging

Let’s make a den

What shall we use?

Make it underground

Who will be leader?

Protect us from the flash and sound of the big stick they drop just

To stop us from cuddling and hanging on

For the rest of our days
