[length: 22:52]
[00:00.66]Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off
[00:08.68]Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes
[00:14.91]As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time
[00:22.08]I swear I saw your face change, it didn’t seem quite right
[00:28.45]And it’s… hello babe, with your guardian eyes so blue
[00:37.12]Hey my baby, don’t you know our love is true?
[00:52.53]Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies
[01:00.51]Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright
[01:06.97]Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly
[01:14.09]The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand
[01:20.30]And it’s… hey babe, your supper’s waiting for you
[01:28.69]Hey my baby, don’t you know our love is true?
[01:37.12]I’ve been so far from here, far from your warm arms
[01:44.73]It’s good to feel you again
[01:50.68]It’s been a long long time…
[01:55.55]Hasn’t it?
[03:53.74]I know a farmer who looks after the farm
[04:01.30]With water clear, he cares for all his harvest
[04:11.79]I know a fireman who looks after the fire
[04:22.22]You, can’t you see he’s fooled you all?
[04:34.68]Yes, he’s here again
[04:40.55]Can’t you see he’s fooled you all?
[04:44.52]Share his peace, sign the lease
[04:47.71]He’s a supersonic scientist
[04:51.22]He’s the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man
[04:58.79]Look, look into my mouth he cries
[05:07.37]And all the children lost down many paths
[05:12.55]I bet my life you’ll walk inside
[05:17.14]Hand in hand, gland in gland
[05:20.81]With a spoonful of miracle
[05:23.95]He’s the guaranteed eternal sanctuary
[05:31.10](We will rock you, rock you little snake)
[05:34.28](We will keep you snug and warm)
[06:07.76]Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest
[06:13.88]We walked across the fields to see The Children of The West
[06:19.34]But we saw a host of dark skinned
[06:21.28]Warriors standing still below the ground
[06:32.02]Waiting for battle
[06:47.45]The fight’s begun, they’ve been released
[06:51.16]Killing foe for peace
[06:54.01]Bang, bang, bang
[06:57.75]Bang, bang, bang…
[07:01.55]And they’re giving me a wonderful potion
[07:05.03]’Cause I cannot contain my emotion
[07:13.48]And even though I’m feeling good
[07:16.74]Something tells me I’d better activate my prayer capsule
[08:31.79]Today’s a day to celebrate
[08:34.43]The foe have met their fate
[08:45.44]The order for rejoicing and dancing
[08:50.88]Has come from our warlord
[09:49.85]Wandering in the chaos the battle has left
[09:55.93]We climb up a mountain of human flesh
[10:02.73]To a plateau of green grass and green trees full of life
[10:16.18]A young figure sits still by a pool
[10:22.65]He’s been stamped “Human Bacon” by some butchery tool
[10:29.65]He is you…
[10:43.27]Social Security took care of this lad
[10:49.82]We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower
[11:00.81](A flower?)
[11:04.41]If you go down to Willow Farm
[11:07.04]To look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
[11:13.26]Open your eyes, it’s full of surprise
[11:16.72]Everyone lies like the fox on the rocks
[11:22.12]And the musical box
[11:26.53]Oh, there’s Mum & Dad, and good and bad
[11:29.61]And everyone’s happy to be here
[11:34.97]There’s Winston Churchill dressed in drag
[11:36.92]He used to be a British flag
[11:39.13]Plastic bag, what a drag
[11:43.33]The frog was a prince
[11:46.28]The prince was a brick, the brick was an egg
[11:48.15]The egg was a bird
[11:50.09](Fly away you sweet little thing, they’re hard on your tail)
[11:52.84]Hadn’t you heard?
[11:54.39](They’re going to change you into a human being!)
[11:57.27]Yes, we’re happy as fish and gorgeous as geese
[11:59.88]And wonderfully clean in the morning
[12:04.38]We’ve got everything, we’re growing everything
[12:08.70]We’ve got some in, we’ve got some out
[12:10.73]We’ve got some wild things floating about
[12:15.37]Everyone, we’re changing everyone
[12:18.86]You name them all, we’ve had them here
[12:20.96]And the real stars are still to appear
[12:26.31](ALL CHANGE!)
[12:28.34]Feel your body melt;
[12:30.92]Mum to mud to mad to dad
[12:32.97]Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,
[12:36.01]You’re all full of ball
[12:37.75]Dad to dam to dum to mum
[12:39.58]Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing
[12:42.93]You’re all full of ball
[12:44.49]Let me hear you lies, we’re living this up to the eyes
[12:48.25]Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
[12:58.26]Momma I want you now
[13:03.31]And as you listen to my voice
[13:06.58]To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause
[13:12.77]You’ve been here all the time
[13:15.39]Like it or not, like what you got
[13:17.31]You’re under the soil (the soil, the soil)
[13:21.40]Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!)
[13:26.42]So we’ll end with a whistle and end with a bang
[13:29.19]And all of us fit in our places
[15:35.06]With the guards of Magog, swarming around
[15:41.22]The Pied Piper takes his children underground
[15:46.63]Dragons coming out of the sea
[15:53.25]Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me
[15:58.90]He brings down the fire from the skies
[16:05.11]You can tell he’s doing well by the look in human eyes
[16:08.94]Better not compromise, it won’t be easy
[18:52.80]666 is no longer alone
[18:59.04]He’s getting out the marrow in your back bone
[19:04.62]And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll
[19:11.57]Gonna blow right down inside your soul
[19:17.01]Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon
[19:23.03]In blood, he’s writing the lyrics of a brand new tune
[20:11.22]And it’s… hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue
[20:21.93]Hey my baby, don’t you know our love is true?
[20:29.41]I’ve been so far from here, far from your loving arms
[20:38.54]Now I’m back again
[20:43.98]And babe it’s gonna work out fine
[20:51.70]Can’t you feel our souls ignite
[21:00.78]Shedding ever changing colours
[21:07.48]In the darkness of the fading night
[21:12.95]Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows
[21:21.44]We have finally been freed to get back home
[21:31.40]There’s an angel standing in the sun
[21:40.54]And he’s crying with a loud voice
[21:46.11]”This is the supper of the mighty one”
[21:52.29]Lord of Lords, King of Kings
[21:56.15]Has returned to lead his children home
[22:00.72]To take them to the new Jerusalem
