[00:00.00] Massive Attack - Hymn Of The Big Wheel
[00:45.89] (marshall, vowles, del naja, cherry, andy)
[00:47.89]
[00:49.89] The big wheel keeps on turning
[00:54.40] On a simple line day by day
[00:59.58] The earth spins on its axis
[01:04.56] One man struggle while another relaxes
[01:08.28]
[01:09.20] There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
[01:13.56] Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity
[01:19.36] The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
[01:24.30] Look my son the weather is changing
[01:28.25]
[01:29.09] I'd like to feel that you could be free
[01:33.78] Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
[01:37.85] Sometime again
[01:39.41] You'll turn green and the sea turns red
[01:44.55] My son I said the power of axis over my head
[01:51.65] The big wheel keeps on turning
[01:56.35] On a simple line day by day
[02:01.51] The earth spins on its axis
[02:06.50] One man struggle while another relaxes
[02:10.40]
[02:11.33] We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
[02:15.88] And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
[02:20.93] Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
[02:26.34] Down within the shadows where the factories drone
[02:31.09] On the surface of the wheel they build another town
[02:36.01] And so the green come tumbling down
[02:40.91] Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
[02:45.82] And i'll show you sunset sometime again
[02:51.00] The big wheel keeps on turning
[02:55.89] On a simple line day by day
[03:01.05] The earth spins on its axis
[03:05.98] One man struggle while another relaxes
[03:09.95]
[03:35.57] As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise
[03:40.43] While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
[03:45.42] An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
[03:50.41] It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
[03:55.40] And all the king's men cannot put it back again
[04:00.25] But the ghetto sun will nurture life
[04:05.27] And mend my soul sometime again
[04:17.04]
[04:57.52][04:37.59][04:17.87] The big wheel keeps on turning
[05:02.28][04:42.43][04:22.59] On a simple line day by day
[05:07.34][04:47.56][04:27.77] The earth spins on its axis
[05:12.50][04:52.62][04:32.81] One man struggle while another relaxes
[05:16.21][04:56.46][04:36.35]
