Cat Stevens - I Want To Live In A Wigwam Lyrics






I'd like to live in a wigwam
Yes I'd like to live in a wigwam
I'd like to live in a wigwam and
Dance round the totem pole

I'd like to live in an igloo
Yes, I'd like to live in an igloo
I'd like to live in an igloo and
Fish from an icehole

I'd like to ride on a caravan
I'd like to take a ride on a caravan
Yes, I'd like to ride on a caravan and
Sing with the gypsies

I'd like to live on a commune
Yes, I'd like to live on a commune
I'd like to live on a commune and
People can call me a hippie

I don't want to live in a palace
No, I don't want to live in no palace
Oh I don't want to live in no palace
There's too many empty rooms

I don't want to live in a barracks
I don't want to live in a barracks
Oh I don't want to live in a barracks
And wake up to the bugle tune

I'd just like to live in a treehut
Yes, I'd like to live in a treehut
Yes, I'd like to live in a treehut and
Listen to the sound of the birds

I don't want to live in a jailhouse
Don't wanna bide my time in no jailhouse
No I don't want to live in no jailhouse and
Be fed bread through the bars

I'm glad I'm alive am I
I'm glad I'm alive am I
I'm glad I'm alive
I'm glad I'm alive
I'm glad I'm alive am I

We gotta get our heads up in the sky
We gotta get our heads up in the sky
We gotta get our heads up
Gotta give it time
We gotta get our heads up in the sky

Gotta get to heaven get a guide
We gotta get to heaven get a guide
We gotta have a guide
We gotta get to heaven get a guide

    This tune has grown on me over the years. Thanks for sharing!

  31. T.... C....

    back in the world of top 40 radio, this song was a B Side to "Sitting" from Catch Bull At Four....I liked playing it, just to mess with the music director's head. Not a problem, as I ended up liking this song better than "Sitting"!

    T.... C....

    +Thomas Conlee It was one of the songs from Harold & Maude too.

    T.... C....

    +Thomas Conlee  If I could go back on air for just a night I'd play all B sides.  So much awesome music that didn't get the airtime it deserved.

    T.... C....

    +SweetSweetWaldo It was NOT in Harold and Maude.

    T.... C....

    +SweetSweetWaldo You're right. Wasn't "Trouble" the song used in Harold and Maude?

  32. S.... S....

    Great music..undeniably Great Musician..

  33. N.... E....

    His songs bring real tears to my eyes. They're so beautiful and strong in meaning. I've never been this emotional listening to any other song.

    N.... E....

    His music is life that is the difference

  34. N.... S....

    Dig it.. still.

  35. V.... C....

    Cat Stevens, um grande compositor, músico e cantor que sempre se dedicou de alma e coração à música que, como muitos poucos, só ele sabe fazer. Obrigado Cat Stevens por tudo o que tens feito, quer ao nível da música, quer ao nível da intervenção cívica.

    a wigwam is a primitive home used by some native american tribes

  56. j.... ....

    Thanks Drew!!

  57. j.... ....

    Oh yes "drew",and what kind of hahaha is that. A funny hahaha, a "That's not very funny,dear"hahaha, or the kind of horror film hahaha that my big brother used to try to frighten me with,many years back. In which case you would need a vid of a small child opening each door in a palace, and behind each door would be a "Tim Burton" style scary monster,or one of your choice,of course. And yes, I do realise that this is nothing to do with the sentiment of the song!

  58. h.... ....

    We gotta get to heaven, get a guide.

  59. j.... ....

    Steve/Yusufs voice in amazing form. Never fancied a palace myself. All those rooms you'd have to check for scary things at night!

  60. J.... c....

    thanx to cat we have awesome songwriters like frusciante

  61. h.... ....

    Man - I don't know what's better - his powerful voice or the amazing production! What a sound!!!!

  62. b.... ....

    amazing voice, great music, wish more people sang in his style

  63. f.... ....

    this song ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  64. M.... P....
