Xtc - Down a Peg lyrics

You took me

Down down down

Down a peg

Thank you

For taking me down a peg

Thank you

It's true

My position had gone to my head

Thank you

Like some commissionaire who has ideas above his station

Or some jumped up councillor who think he's lord of creation

You took me down down down down a peg

Down down down down a peg

Thank you

For bringing my feet to the floor

Thank you

It's true

My head wouldn't go through the door

Thank you

Sometimes this job puts you so high you forget your roots now

Only my folks see I'm getting too big for my boots now

You took me down down down down a peg

Down down down down a peg

Down down down down a peg

Thank you

For taking me down a peg

(you took me down down down down a peg)

Thank you

It's true

My position had gone to my head

(you took me down down down down a peg)

Thank you
