If the baby falls
The crib shall age empty

all of the earth
which ever lived
creation everyday
if the baby falls
it would leave the crib quite solo

The sources who join to nurture cries and giggles
Won’t change diapers anymore
If our baby falls

Why they quote prophesy
I’ll never understand
For they diapered the world
And it filled it self full

Fufilling their prophesies
Of a poor dead planet
If their baby falls

Screaming out for the right to life
They’ll never abort their baby
Till the baby falls
Then the crib shall fade
So Humpty Dumpty
With Jack and Jill
And their baby

Evan Harrington - lyrics

Year: 1984

Album:
Two Old Friends (Track #24)

Artist’s description:
Just classical guitar and voice

Original recording in 1984 or so on casette - one take.

So the recording here is somewhat lo-fi

“That was long enough ago that I would probably not do a decent job commenting on the lyrics I wrote. Of course, it is about nuclear arms and the baby is a actually a bomb. “

I said “not about abortion?”

he said “I guess it was slyly a bit about that, too. :)”

Inspiration:
the bomb - and abortion activists
