Blue Plaque
©2002 Gibbens/Weston

You can reinvent the wheel,
Build a bird of solid steel,
Tell the world just how you feel,
Do what you want
To get your blue plaque;
Remember this:
You’re coming back.

You can conquer, you can strike,
You can heal or shine a light,
Give your all, put wrong to right,
Do what you want
To get your blue plaque;
Remember this:
You’re coming back.
You’re coming back.

On the wall in white and blue
There’s a place for you who
Win some battle, write some novel,
Beat the devil, Make some trouble…

But when you rise
You’ll have a new name
In heaven’s eyes.
No earthly fame,
No earthly shame.

Be a dog and have your day.
Wag your tail then gone away.
It’s tooth for tooth the Good Book says.
Do what you want
To get your blue plaque;
Remember this:
You’re coming back.
You’re coming back.
Back, back, back, back,
You’re coming back.
