Letra da Música Forty Thousand Headmen de Traffic

Forty thousand headmen
Couldn't make me change my mind
If I had to take the choice
Between the deafman and the blind
I know just where my feet should go
And that's enough for me
I turned around and knocked them down
And walked across the sea

Hadn't traveled very far
When suddenly I saw
Three small ships a-sailing out
Towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette
I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave
Where they obviously stashed their loot

Filling up my pockets,
Even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a hundred tons
Between my head and toes
I ventured forth before the dawn
Had time to change its mind
And soaring high above the clouds
I found a golden shrine

Laying down my treasure
Before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell hoping
I hadn't come too late
But someone came along and told me
Not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was
He said, 'Just look behind'

So I turned around
And forty thousand headmen bit the dirt
Firing twenty shotguns
Each and man, it really hurt
But luckily for me
They had to stop and then reload
And by the time they'd done that
I was heading down the road
