| Him
|
| Who Ed, him?
|
| Yeah, he’s only got us up here to make a fool of us you know. |
| It’s either that,
|
| you know, or it’s sort of, like he thinks, that’ll be groovy, you know.
|
| Look at that bloke over there. |
| Pig, bloody pig, see him? |
| There you are,
|
| that’s it, that’s the one, that’s who he is, that’s what it’s all about.
|
| And where’ll we be in the morning mate?
|
| Eh?
|
| The Morning, the morning mate.
|
| And beneath the skies as tall as houses began to peel, the land that had become
|
| barren blossomed again, and the seas rolled back, and people came from every
|
| hill once more into the world, and as a heron flew across the bay,
|
| the dawn discreetly crept away.
|
| The dawn crept away like an early morning kiss
|
| And the stars on that day, troubled, toiled, sunset red
|
| The Sun shone high in the clustered rosy spangled sky
|
| The world turned around, people lived, people died
|
| The dawn crept away, The dawn crept away
|
| She was black and green in the early morning light
|
| And the sweet, sweet field in the herald, holy night
|
| The dawn crept away, The dawn crept away
|
| The dawn crept away, The dawn crept away
|
| I see two people walking out tonight
|
| Like lovers, hand in hand, they were far from sight
|
| What is a woman, a mother, the other a boy
|
| What is a woman, a mother, the other her little boy
|
| Mama, what’s that red ball hanging in the sky
|
| Mama, I don’t like it, am I gonna die?
|
| No more people crying, summer, we gone all shy
|
| Will we see tomorrow morning if tonight we die
|
| Die, die, die
|
| Mama, mama, you know I ask the questions
|
| And the questions have been questioned
|
| Mama looking worried, uneasy
|
| Edgar lost for words, lost for words, lost for words
|
| Shut up! |
| Shut up! |
| Shut up! |
| Shut up! |
| Shut up! |
| Shut up! |
| Shut up! |
| Shut up! |
| Shut up!
|
| Shut up! |
| Shut up!
|
| Mama, mama, why do you look at me that way?
|
| I have some words that I wish to say
|
| Mama, do you hear them?
|
| Do you hear them coming to the line?
|
| Do you feel them, do you feel them, do you feel them?
|
| Walking across your mind
|
| Mama, what’s that red ball?
|
| What’s that, what’s that red ball?
|
| SON! |
| This is your father’s world
|
| This is your father’s world
|
| This is your Daddy’s world
|
| This is your Daddy’s world
|
| Daddy Built it, Daddy built it
|
| Daddy Built it, Daddy fired it
|
| Daddy tried to pull it back
|
| Another string broke Who lives? |
| Who dies? |
| Who weeps? |
| Who cries?
|
| You or I? |
| Which is mine? |
| Which is mine? |
| Which is mine?
|
| Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy water, heavy water,
|
| heavy water, heavy water, heavy water, heavy water
|
| Mama get your daughters
|
| Heavy rain Get your sunspec, get your sunspec, again
|
| At that moment, the beach photographer, sensing a chance to work in the off
|
| season, comes along the beach, seeing the woman and the child, and the water
|
| rolling, endlessly, endlessly, on, on, on
|
| GOD! |
| Saying
|
| Mama, would you like a picture? |
| Would you like a photograph? |
| Would you like a
|
| picture? |
| Would you like a photograph? |
| Would you like a picture? |
| Photograph,
|
| picture, Photograph, picture, Photograph, picture,
|
| NO! |
| I got a little boy!
|
| WHAT’S THAT? |
| A boy?
|
| My own, my own boy
|
| Oh then come on lady, come on lady, five dollar for a five dollar picture,
|
| get a one that’s only five dollar, three to go now, picture photograph
|
| But I’ve got a little boy
|
| Now listen. |
| You see that red ball in the sky
|
| Red ball, Red ball, Red ball, Red ball, Red ball
|
| What do you think that could be?
|
| Be The little boy starts crying
|
| For he knows only too well
|
| He has the intuition of an innocent child, child, child
|
| At that point the photographer says
|
| ‘Mama, take a picture, take a photograph, take a picture
|
| Before your baby burns, away, away, away, away'
|
| She walks like a dream in the early morning light
|
| Of the sweet, sleep, deep, in the hell, holy night
|
| 1000's of years pass on, and again a couple stand on the beach
|
| The man looks at his girl, and the sun, and the sun
|
| The girl looks into the eyes of the man and she says
|
| ‘Darling, soon we will have a baby boy all of our own'
|
| And with the love in his eyes, like the love one knows of coming home he speaks,
|
| thus:
|
| ‘Woman of mine, you see the sea rolling, endlessly
|
| See and look and you shall see but many years have passed us by
|
| Have we learned but one thing in our lives?
|
| Away, away, away
|
| Cold the wind blows
|
| (Edgar growls to the end)
|
| I’d like to say a few words on behalf of the band (repeated over and over). |
