[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com  [00:44.91]Really don't mind if you sit this one out [01:21.84]My words but a whisper -your deafness a SHOUT [01:29.64]I may make you feel but I can't make you think [01:37.38]Your sperm's in the gutter -your love's in the sink [01:44.52]So you ride yourselves over the fields and [01:49.29]You make all your animal deals and [01:53.58]Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick [02:10.83]And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in [02:18.99]The tidal destruction [02:21.18]The moral melee [02:26.43]The elastic retreat rings the close of play [02:34.14]As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way [02:42.18]But your new shoes are worn at the heels and [02:46.62]Your suntan does rapidly peel and [02:50.94]Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick [03:09.33]And the love that I feel is so far away： [03:17.82]I'm a bad dream that I just had today -and you [03:27.87]Shake your head and [03:29.97]Say it's a shame [03:40.29]Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth [03:48.84]Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth [04:21.95]See there A son is born -and we pronounce him fit to fight [04:29.22]There are black-heads on his shoulders and he pees himself in the night [04:36.75]We'll [04:36.99]Make a man of him [04:38.49]Put him to trade [04:43.44]Teach him [04:44.22]To play Monopoly and [04:45.63]To sing in the rain [07:20.91]The Poet and the painter casting shadows on the water [07:26.31]As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea [07:38.19]As the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed [07:49.95]But the master of the house is far away [07:55.86]The horses stamping -their warm breath clouding [08:01.47]In the sharp and frosty morning of the day [08:07.08]And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword [08:14.10]And the youngest of the family is moving with authority [08:20.22]Building castles by the sea he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside [10:30.39]The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river [10:36.33]Where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea： [10:41.94]The builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose [10:48.18]And contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need [10:53.61]The young men of the household have [10:56.79]All gone into service and [10:59.49]Are not to be expected for a year [11:05.22]The innocent young master -thoughts moving ever faster [11:10.89]Has formed the plan to change the man he seems [11:16.53]And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword [11:23.40]And the oldest of the family is moving with authority [11:29.70]Coming from across the sea he challenges the son who puts him to the run [12:35.46]What do you do when [12:36.96]The old man's gone -do you want to be him And [12:44.34]Your real self sings the song [12:46.86]Do you want to free him [12:52.23]No one to help you get up steam [13:00.51]And the whirlpool turns you 'way off-beam [13:59.55]LATER [15:02.25]I've come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways [15:09.24]My father was a man-of-power whom everyone obeyed [15:31.05]So come on all you criminals [15:33.27]I've got to put you straight just like I did with my old man [15:41.22]Twenty years too late [17:12.18]Your bread and water's going cold [17:14.94]Your hair is too short and neat [17:19.44]I'll judge you all and make d**n sure that no-one judges me [18:22.53]You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone -you meet the stares [18:27.81]You're unaware that your doings aren't done [18:31.38]And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be [18:35.46]But how are we supposed to see where we should run [18:39.42]I see you shuffle in the courtroom with [19:35.19]Your rings upon your fingers and [19:37.92]Your downy little sidies and [19:40.56]Your silver-buckle shoes [19:46.14]Playing at the hard case you follow the example of the comic-paper idol [19:54.27]Who let's you bend the rules [20:31.86]So [20:32.25]Come on ye childhood heroes [20:34.65]Won't you rise up from the pages of your comic-books [20:38.16]Your super crooks [20:39.66]And show us all the way [20:45.15]Well Make your will and testament Won't you [20:48.27]Join your local government [20:50.34]We'll have Superman for president [20:53.10]Let Robin save the day [20:59.01]You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time [21:04.38]The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line [21:09.69]And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are [21:14.70]And take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars [21:19.98]And you wonder who to call on [21:55.26]So Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday [22:00.66]And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though [22:08.28]They're all resting down in Cornwall [22:11.37]Writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition [22:16.62]Of the Boy Scout Manual [24:23.28]LATER [24:25.89]See there A man born -and we pronounce him fit for peace [24:36.96]There's a load lifted from his shoulders with the discovery of his disease [24:44.61]We'll [24:47.55]Take the child from him [24:53.10]Put it to the test [24:56.43]Teach it [25:02.97]To be a wise man [25:09.21]How to fool the rest [25:14.76]QUOTE [25:21.75]We will be geared to the average rather than the exceptional [25:32.31]God is an overwhelming responsibility [25:41.49]We walked through the maternity ward and saw 218 babies wearing nylons [25:53.46]Cats are on the upgrade [26:00.75]Upgrade Hipgrave Oh Mac [26:11.88]LATER [26:16.35]In the clear white circles of morning wonder [26:20.10]I take my place with the lord of the hills [26:29.31]And the blue-eyed soldiers stand slightly discoloured in neat little rows [26:44.40]Sporting canvas frills [26:48.99]With their jock-straps pinching they slouch to attention [26:55.89]While queueing for sarnies at the office canteen [27:06.15]Saying -how's your granny and [27:19.50]The legends worded in the ancient tribal hymn lie cradled [27:23.82]In the seagull's call [27:27.42]And all the promises they made are ground beneath the sadist's fall [27:34.38]The poet and the wise man stand behind the gun [27:41.19]And signal for the crack of dawn [27:45.90]Light the sun [27:52.47]Do you believe in the day Do you [27:56.43]Believe in the day The Dawn Creation of the Kings has begun [28:06.15]Soft Venus lonely maiden brings the ageless one [28:17.28]Do you believe in the day [28:21.06]The fading hero has returned to the night -and fully pregnant with the day [28:33.75]Wise men endorse the poet's sight [28:50.34]Do you believe in the day Do you Believe in the day [28:57.84]Let me tell you the tales of your life of [29:29.64]Your love and the cut of the knife [29:43.41]The tireless oppression [29:49.53]The wisdom instilled [33:03.60]The desire to kill or be killed [33:12.00]Let me sing of the losers who lie in the street as the last bus goes by [34:24.15]Toasts his god in the sky [34:27.98]So come all ye young men who are building castles [34:34.08]Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus [34:56.82]Mark the precise nature of your fear [34:59.79]Let me help you pick up your dead as the sins of the father are fed [35:09.00]With [36:04.71]The blood of the fools and [36:06.36]The thoughts of the wise and [36:10.47]From the pan under your bed [36:16.05]Let me make you a present of song as [36:25.56]The wise man breaks wind and is gone while [36:53.01]The fool with the hour-glass is cooking his goose and [37:00.48]The nursery rhyme winds along [37:11.37]So Come all ye young men who are building castles [37:22.05]Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus [38:40.02]Mark the precise nature of your fear [38:47.01]See The summer lightning casts its bolts upon you [39:05.34]And the hour of judgement draweth near [39:25.44]Would you be [39:50.64]The fool stood in his suit of armour or [40:08.37]The wiser man who rushes clear [40:19.05]So Come on ye childhood heroes [40:41.07]Won't your rise up from the pages of your comic-books [43:28.80]Your super-crooks and [43:38.73]Show us all the way [43:48.93]Well Make your will and testament [45:01.32]Won't you Join your local government [46:21.15]We'll have Superman for president [46:30.99]Let Robin save the day [46:44.16]So Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday [47:41.16]And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you through [48:33.60]They're all resting down in Cornwall -writing up their memoirs [49:16.98]For a paper-back edition of the Boy Scout Manual [49:29.22]OF COURSE [50:50.19]So you ride yourselves over the fields and [50:57.03]You make all your animal deals and [51:03.45]Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick
