[00:31] |
I bless you madly, |
[00:35] |
sadly as I tie my shoes |
[00:39] |
I love you badly, |
[00:42] |
Just in time, at times, I guess |
[00:50] |
Because of you I need to rest |
[00:56] |
Because it's you that sets the test |
[01:04] |
So much has gone and little is new |
[01:11] |
And as the sparrow sings |
[01:17] |
Dawn chorus for |
[01:21] |
Someone else to hear |
[01:26] |
The Thinker sits alone growing older |
[01:37] |
And so bitter |
[01:41] |
"I gave Them life |
[01:43] |
I gave Them all |
[01:46] |
They drained my very soul |
[01:48] |
...dry |
[01:52] |
I crushed my heart to ease their pains |
[01:55] |
No thought for me remains there |
[02:01] |
Nothing can They spare |
[02:04] |
What of me? |
[02:09] |
Who praised their efforts to be free? |
[02:15] |
Words of strength and care and sympathy |
[02:23] |
I opened doors that would have blocked their way |
[02:29] |
I braved their cause to guide, for little pay |
[02:37] |
I ravaged at my finance just for those |
[02:43] |
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility |
[02:51] |
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free |
[02:57] |
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me" |
[03:17] |
I bless you madly, |
[03:20] |
sadly as I tie my shoes |
[03:25] |
I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess |
[03:35] |
Because of you I need to rest, oh yes |
[03:44] |
Because it's you that sets the test |
[03:49] |
So much has gone and little is new |
[03:57] |
And as the sunrise stream |
[04:04] |
Flickers on me, |
[04:10] |
My friends talk |
[04:12] |
Of glory, untold dream, |
[04:18] |
where all is God and God is just a word |
[04:28] |
"We had a friend, a talking man |
[04:32] |
Who spoke of many powers that he had |
[04:39] |
Not of the best of men, but Ours |
[04:42] |
We used him |
[04:44] |
We let him use his powers |
[04:49] |
We let him fill Our needs |
[04:52] |
Now We are strong |
[04:56] |
And the road is coming to its end |
[05:03] |
Now the damned have no time to make amends |
[05:10] |
No purse of token fortune stands in Our way |
[05:17] |
The silent guns of love will blast the sky |
[05:24] |
We broke the ruptured structure built of age |
[05:31] |
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage |
[05:38] |
Where money stood |
[05:40] |
We planted seeds of rebirth |
[05:45] |
And stabbed the backs of fathers |
[05:49] |
Sons of dirt |
[05:52] |
Infiltrated business cesspools |
[05:55] |
Hating through Our sleeves |
[05:59] |
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat |
[06:02] |
Stoned the poor on slogans such as |
[06:05] |
'Wish You Could Hear' |
[06:06] |
'Love Is All We Need' |
[06:08] |
'Kick Out The Jams' |
[06:10] |
'Kick Out Your Mother' |
[06:12] |
'Cut Up Your Friend' |
[06:14] |
'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End' |
[06:18] |
And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above |
[06:26] |
And We Can Force You to Be Free |
[06:30] |
And We Can Force You to Believe" |
[06:36] |
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain |
[06:39] |
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain |
[06:43] |
For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain |
[06:47] |
It said: |
[06:48] |
"I believe in the Power of Good |
[06:52] |
I Believe in the State of Love |
[06:55] |
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right |
[06:58] |
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right" |
[07:05] |
And I open my eyes to look around |
[07:10] |
And I see a child laid slain on the ground |
[07:17] |
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows |
[07:24] |
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command |
[07:30] |
But not hearing anymore |
[07:33] |
Not hearing anymore |
[07:40] |
Just the shrieks from the old rich |
[07:48] |
And I Want to Believe |
[07:52] |
In the madness that calls 'Now' |
[07:56] |
And I want to Believe |
[07:59] |
That a light's shining through |
[08:01] |
Somehow |
[08:02] |
And I Want to Believe |
[08:06] |
And You Want to Believe |
[08:09] |
And We Want to Believe |
[08:12] |
And We Want to Live |
[08:16] |
Oh, We Want to Live |
[08:20] |
We Want to Live |
[08:40] |
I want to live |
[09:02] |
Live |
