No wonder I couldn't find it.  These are the lyrics I read HERE

 

 

 

 

Wond'ring AgainThere's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea,

and the motor car magical world long since ceased to be,

when the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree.

Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride,

spawning new millions throws the world on its side.

Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse,

and those with no sandwiches please get off the bus.

The excrement bubbles,

the century's slime decays

and the brainwashing government lackeys

would have us say

it's under control and we'll soon be on our way

to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games

of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain.

The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old,

and those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes.

We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.

Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told.

Stumbled on a daffodil which she crushed in the rush, heard it sigh,

and left it to die.

At once felt remorse and were touched by the loss of our own,

held its poor broken head in her hands,

dropped soft tears in the snow,

and it's only the taking that makes you what you are.

Wond'ring aloud will a son one day be born

to share in our infancy

in the child's path we've worn.

In the aging seclusion of this earth that our birth did surprise

we'll open his eyes.

 

 

These are the lyrics from Wond'ring Again from the album Living in the Past.

 

Your quote is from Wond'ring Aloud from Aqualung.

You are exactly correct. My comments, were misleading. I got confused because I was listening to living  past  lp living while thinking of posting the quiz.  This was an honest mistake. I promise in my next quiz posting, I will be 100% accurate in my listing.  My apologies to all that I confused. I am sure if I would have been more accurate in my post I would have more participation. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was so excited about putting my quiz together that I confused some of you with my incorrect facts.  Wondering aloud has the following lyrics, ( and its only the taking that makes you what you are. ) First post of this kind, next will be accurate.
