Let's Make A Den Lyrics - Xtc

Let's make a den 

What shall we use? 

Make it out of hay 

Who will be leader? 

In it we can play at both being mothers and fathers until we have 

Children of our own. 

Let's make a den 

What shall we use? 

Make it out of wood 

Who will be leader? 

Wouldn't it be good if we could fight off rival gangs and take total 

Possession of the hill 

For the rest of our days? 

Isn't that what we can all look forward to when we grow up? 

Isn't that what we can all look forward to? 

Behind the door, women and men 

Love and war inside of our den. 

Let's make a den 

What shall we use? 

Make it out of bricks 

Who will be leader? 

In it how the sticks and stones will fly but my oh my won't we have 

Fun when later on we patch it up? 

Let's make a den 

What shall we use? 

Make it from cement 

Who will be leader? 

In it we can pent up all of our fears but give presents each Christmas 

Like there was nothing ever wrong 

For the rest of our days. 

Isn't that what we can all look forward to when we grow up? 

Isn't that what we can all look forward to? 

Behind the door, women and men 

Love and war inside of their den. 

Well you can wear your brand new nurse's outfit, 

And I can wear my brand new cowboy suit. 

Everything unchanging 

Just furniture arranging 

Let's make a den 

What shall we use? 

Make it underground 

Who will be leader? 

Protect us from the flash and sound of the big stick they drop just 

To stop us from cuddling and hanging on 

For the rest of our days.
