The Table

[00:02.56] (Heaton/Rotheray)
[00:21.91] This table has four sturdy legs
[00:27.27] And a heart of very near wild oak
[00:32.83] When others would have screamed out loud my friend
[00:38.38] This one never even spoke
[00:43.61] I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
[00:48.84] I've been treated like a bed
[00:50.32] Been carried like a stretcher,
[00:51.51] When someone thinks they're dead
[00:54.16] I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
[00:59.36] I've been taken for a fool
[01:00.45] Taken for a desk,
[01:01.71] When they should have been at school
[01:15.37] This table's been pushed against the wall
[01:20.52] When tempers, well tempers flare at night
[01:25.99] Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend
[01:31.53] When someone thinks that they are right
[01:37.32] I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
[01:41.97] I've been treated like a bed
[01:43.49] Been carried like a stretcher,
[01:44.60] When someone thinks they're dead
[01:47.21] I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
[01:52.32] I've been taken for a fool
[01:53.72] Taken for a desk,
[01:55.10] When they should have been at school
[01:57.99] Tables only turn when tables learn
[02:03.06] Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
[02:08.46] Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
[02:13.44] Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave
[02:19.21] I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
[02:23.67] I've been treated like a bed
[02:25.21] Been carried like a stretcher,
[02:26.63] When someone thinks they're dead
[02:28.65] I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
[02:34.15] I've been taken for a fool
[02:35.42] Taken for a desk,
[02:36.95] When they should have been at school
[02:39.58] Tables only turn when tables learn
[02:44.33] Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
[02:49.06] Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
[02:54.35] Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave
