A Question Of Sport - Martin Carthy |
| [00:09.43] |
Oh I am humanity cast in the flood |
| [00:12.72] |
Waive your liberty as I come among you |
| [00:15.96] |
I ride the ark on a sea of blood |
| [00:18.76] |
They call me the Great Azania |
| [00:21.59] |
I soared like the dove released in the air |
| [00:24.37] |
When they tossed me |
| [00:25.04] |
Through the window tied to a chair |
| [00:27.45] |
I landed in the middle of Trafalgar Square |
| [00:30.19] |
Come to visit all your bad dreams upon you |
| [00:33.06] |
Now the first that I met when I came into land |
| [00:36.41] |
Was the Grantham grocer's daughter |
| [00:39.40] |
She cried aloud |
| [00:40.58] |
How sorry I am |
| [00:42.11] |
There wasn't anybody here for to caught you |
| [00:45.28] |
She crooned in my ear like I knew she could |
| [00:48.11] |
Her Cabinet briefing on the misunderstood |
| [00:51.00] |
Bathed my wounds in my very own blood |
| [00:53.77] |
Calling on the world press to support her |
| [00:56.55] |
Oh the cameras rattled and the questions flew |
| [00:59.81] |
Everybody sang Rule Britannia |
| [01:02.86] |
Cabinet jumped up two by two |
| [01:05.70] |
Joining in with their own memoranda |
| [01:08.40] |
They went maximum leverage minimum force |
| [01:11.58] |
You get your dividend but you gotta stay the course |
| [01:14.37] |
They sang as they all trooped off to the house |
| [01:17.20] |
God save our gracious TINA |
| [01:41.83] |
Oh they knew by the bruising around my body |
| [01:44.81] |
I clearly was a threat to the nation |
| [01:47.57] |
They knew that menace to life and limb |
| [01:50.52] |
Was a matter of interpretation |
| [01:53.12] |
They had me down |
| [01:54.02] |
At the dog track running like a hare |
| [01:56.21] |
I was huge on the replay screens up there |
| [01:59.25] |
Crowds flung their hats in the air |
| [02:02.03] |
Marvelling at my acceleration |
| [02:04.96] |
Oh they heard me cry when I fell among thieves |
| [02:08.10] |
The billy club beat a tattoo on me |
| [02:11.02] |
Joined the brokers and crowded the eaves |
| [02:13.91] |
Jostling to get the best view of me |
| [02:16.15] |
They sang |
| [02:16.69] |
Suffer little children and |
| [02:18.07] |
See how they run |
| [02:19.16] |
As the tear gas flew and the sjamboks sang |
| [02:22.00] |
Still as the white-walled necklace burned |
| [02:24.76] |
They prayed out aloud for their piece of me |
| [02:29.87] |
Oh the birdmen of Pollsmoor ranged in the dark |
| [02:33.05] |
Rand man come to saddle up and ride them |
| [02:36.20] |
Birdmen of Pollsmoor built them an ark |
| [02:39.07] |
No divine telegram to guide 'em |
| [02:42.19] |
Rand man shouted rand man cajoled |
| [02:44.65] |
Did the township jive for photo call |
| [02:47.58] |
The words of the birdmen spangled the wall |
| [02:50.34] |
A weeping tear gas diadem |
| [02:52.69] |
He said I am humanity cast in the flood |
| [02:55.91] |
Waive your liberty as I come among you |
| [02:59.08] |
I ride the ark on a sea of blood |
| [03:01.75] |
They call me the Great Azania |
| [03:04.49] |
I soared like the dove released in the air |
| [03:07.30] |
You left me for dead at the foot of the stair |
| [03:10.27] |
And when I rise in the middle of Trafalgar Square |
| [03:13.60] |
Resurrection's all around you |
