מילים לשיר Harvest Festival – XTC

See the flowers round the altar
See the peaches in tins 'neath the headmaster's chair
Harvest festival See the two who've been chosen
See them walk hand in hand to the front of the hall Harvest festival
Harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me
That longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year See the children with baskets
See their hair cut like corn neatly combed in their rows Harvest festival
Harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me
That longing look
Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs
The longing look you gave me
That longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year What a year when the exams and crops all failed
Of course you passed but you were never seen again
We all grew and we got screwed and cut and nailed
Then out of nowhere invitation in gold pen See the flowers round the altar
See that you too got married and I wish you well Harvest festival
Harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me
That longing look
Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs
The longing look you gave me
That longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year Harvest festival.
