Cover art for The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead (XTC cover) lyrics by Crash Test Dummies

Its about Jesus

Spreading wisdom and cash around Fed the starving and housed the poor Showed the Vatican what gold's for..... yep

But he made too many enemies Of the people who would keep us on our knees.... the roman govournment had him hanged because they were worried.

Peter Pumpkinhead was too good Had him nailed to a chunk of wood..... he was nailed to the cross

Hanging there he looked a lot like you, and an awful lot like me!..... idk exactly but i love they way he sings that part.

thats what i think
