Nature Nurture

Nature or nurture nurture or nature
Into the prefectures of downtown Japan
Stand by the fjords or out in cold Kazakhstan
Paper over the nurture if nature is your plan
The stature of Kingston or the doubt of doubtless Iran
To colour the picture of the Red Watering Can
Seen in the cinema with Freda and the gormless Ivan

Images of might stamp time on the floor
The door of peace nature nurtures no more
Score the key down the side of the limousine
Into the danger scream to ask o what does it all mean
Seen by the youth and by the old folk too to redeem
The present lean on the past at last in their slipstream

On the sea to a majestic boulder off the Isle of Skye
A column older than life where soldiers might lie
Don't go there it's colder but it's bolder to cry
Nurture by nature if nature or nurture you deny
Into the future or out onto the fairground rides
A land at the limit where the ice floats collide
Escape to the nature if on nurture you decide
