The Idea Lyrics - Adam And The Ants

I went to the zoo 

To look at the animals 

The first thing I saw 

Was a wall full of handclaps 

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 

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 

Holy, holy, holy 

All the saints adore Thee 

Christ in Three Persons 

Beloved Trinity 

The idea
