00:00We've come so far, we are so few. You know what we've come for.
00:24We've come for what is due to us. Only take what's due to us.
00:32And we will take it if we must. It's time to make a deal.
00:41The songs we sing, so young we were. When faith and hope still shone.
00:57The old men say, be still young men. Keep your faith, be still young men.
01:05We've asked you time and time again. Let the wise ones make a deal.
01:14Listen we say, our day has come. We've used up all the time.
01:30You have no place in this place. Have no place in this case.
01:38We want it and we want it now. We ask you for a deal.
02:00We've asked you time and time again. Let the wise ones make a deal.
02:11Listen we say, our day has come. We've used up all the time.
02:20We've asked you time and time again. Let the wise ones make a deal.
02:31Listen we say, our day has come. We've used up all the time.
02:41We've asked you time and time again. Let the wise ones make a deal.
02:52Listen we say, our day has come. We've used up all the time.
03:02Instrumental
03:30They say they are not afraid. For right is on their side.
03:45The deal's off, they know no fear. The deal's off, don't you understand.
03:53They don't like your kind round here. That much for the deal.
04:01We've come so far, we are so few. Yes you know what we've come for.
04:17We've come for what is due to us. Only take what's due to us.
04:25And we will take it if we must. Yes we will take it if we must.
04:41Instrumental
04:57Coming up some months or so since Billy left the band.
05:02Sliding up into the shadows with his guitar in his hand.
05:07We all wait with bated breath to see what he's got planned.
05:13Is it hard to understand? Billy's fallen over.
05:18Fallen over, fallen over. Win or lose, the game's the boogie.
05:26Billy's fallen over. He's not gonna write a rock opera nor make a solo career.
05:33Twenty million megawatts stop ringing in his ear.
05:39Will he get it all together when there's nothing left to fear?
05:44Slide that spotlight over here. Billy's fallen over.
05:49Fallen over, fallen over. Win or lose, the game's the boogie.
05:57Billy's fallen over.
05:59Instrumental
06:21He's been on the road so long he's only me she's getting blurred.
06:25And all those dark unpleasant things that the media inferred.
06:31Half of which are probably true but just a half you heard.
06:36Billy's got the last word. Billy's fallen over.
06:41Fallen over, fallen over. Win or break, the game's the boogie.
06:48Billy's fallen over.
06:52Fallen over, fallen over. Win or lose, the game's the boogie.
07:00Billy's fallen over.
07:03Instrumental
07:09Instrumental
07:26There's so much that I've forgotten.
07:33Can I assume that I'm forgiven?
07:39Never mind how high the truth, how low the lie.
07:46Did we pick up all the pieces? Did we really have to try?
07:54We sit and look, we sit and smile.
08:00We reach across and reach away.
08:06Yet you ask if I will love you till forever.
08:13How do I know? What can I say?
08:22Ask me tomorrow.
08:28Tomorrow you will find an answer there.
08:36Ask me tomorrow.
08:42I've got nothing new to show to you today.
08:49And still you ask if I will love you till forever.
08:56Come over to the window and tell me what you see.
09:03I see bowed heads and sullen faces.
09:07Lies and hiding places.
09:10That's your forever racing with the children down the street.
09:17That's your forever crawling on its hands and knees.
09:24That's forever, now tell me what you see.
09:31I see bowed heads and sullen faces.
09:37Lies and hiding places.
09:42That's your forever crawling on its hands and knees.
09:49That's your forever crawling on its hands and knees.
09:56That's your forever crawling on its hands and knees.
10:03That's your forever crawling on its hands and knees.
10:10That's your forever crawling on its hands and knees.
10:18That's your forever crawling on its hands and knees.
10:27There's so much that I've forgotten.
10:36Can I assume that I'm forgiven?
10:43Never mind how high the truth, how low the lie.
10:50Did we pick up all the pieces? Did we really have to try?
10:58We sit and look, we sit and smile.
11:05We reach across and reach away.
11:11And you ask if I will love you till forever.
11:17How do I know? What can I say?
11:27Ask me tomorrow.
11:33Tomorrow you will find an answer there.
11:41Ask me tomorrow.
11:47I've got nothing new to show to you today.
11:53I've got nothing new to show to you today.
12:00I've got nothing new to show to you today.
12:10I've got nothing new to show to you today.
12:20I'll put on my rock and roll shoes and dance in.
12:28Stepping out, stepping over the line.
12:34Sing a different kind of song.
12:39I'll put on my rock and roll shoes and dance in.
12:45Stepping out, stepping over the line.
12:52Sing a different kind of song.
12:57Trying to push the blues away behind.
13:03Well if I can make you happy, then we'll find someone who can.
13:09Someone who loves young dreams and want to hold your hand.
13:15Someone else, that's the way it has to be.
13:19I'll put on my rock and roll shoes and dance in.
13:24Stepping out, stepping over the line.
13:29Sing a different kind of song.
13:34Trying to push the blues away behind.
13:41Well if I can make you happy, then we'll find someone who will.
13:47I've run right out of carry, even though I love you still.
13:52Through the days turn black sometimes and you start to wonder why.
13:57There'll be an old man dancing down the street with something in his eye.
14:03I'll put on my rock and roll shoes and dance in.
14:07Stepping out, stepping over the line.
14:12Sing a different kind of song.
14:17Trying to push the blues away behind.
14:36Dance in.
14:44You had sober dancing shoes and I a locus tree.
14:49I picked him off the mirrored ball, at least that's the way it seemed.
14:54It'll be easier tomorrow, though it's not that way today.
14:59Happy, laughing, dancing, I guess we'll dance my song away.
15:05I'll put on my rock and roll shoes and dance in.
15:12Stepping out, stepping over the line.
15:17Sing a different kind of song.
15:22Trying to push the blues away behind.
15:28I'll put on my rock and roll shoes and dance in.
15:35In tomorrow's pantomime, I know we will be good.
15:51I would rather be Franklin Roosevelt, but I'll settle for Robin Hood.
16:00Make Marion's a lousy part when you'd rather be Ophelia.
16:08But I'll steal you to the dressing room in tomorrow's pantomime.
16:15I know we agreed that we would play along tradition.
16:30We may be short on talent, we're not short on ambition.
16:38You come on soft and slinky like a working man's jean hollow.
16:46But I'll follow you each curtain call in tomorrow's pantomime.
16:55Every day's a pantomime.
16:59We get a laugh with every line.
17:03Roll them in the aisles we did.
17:07Roll them in the aisles.
17:11Every day's a pantomime.
17:15Other people's parts of all the magic.
17:19Other people's lives are easy won.
17:23Easy up and turning round.
17:27Curtains drawn and blinds pulled down.
17:31Come on, take me closer to other people's lives.
17:39And we shine the ball of solace to keep them free from rusting.
17:47I've been a mirror for your changing moods and little for your self-righteousness.
17:55And smiles are stretched to breaking points when curtain upper arrives.
18:04Come on, take me closer to other people's lives.
18:12Every day's a pantomime.
18:16We get a laugh with every line.
18:20Roll them in the aisles we did.
18:24Roll them in the aisles.
18:28Every day's a pantomime.
18:54Watch the cues and the timing.
19:06And I know we shall be fine.
19:10I know just what you'll say to me.
19:14I'm the one who wrote the lines.
19:18No matter who you think you are, I shall see you as Ophelia.
19:26And try to steal your heart again in tomorrow's pantomime.
19:34We all can be who we want to be in tomorrow's pantomime.
19:42Every day's a pantomime.
19:45We get a laugh with every line.
19:50Roll them in the aisles we did.
19:54Roll them in the aisles.
19:58Every day's a pantomime.
20:15Well, you know the thing we don't talk about, well, it's just come up for air.
20:22We had beaten it and broken it and forgotten it was there.
20:30It's all around the house now, like the guests who will not leave.
20:37It isn't always better to give than to receive.
20:44Single-handed, high and dry and stranded.
20:51It wasn't ever meant to be any other how.
20:56Single-handed, roped and tied and branded.
21:03Someone's got to stand up straight and face tomorrow now.
21:14Been so long in erring foreign cities, waiting for boats and trains.
21:22Always the last man out to winter to meet the springtime rain.
21:30We must think of tomorrow, well, the future's the place to be.
21:37To lay the ghosts of yesterday, how much is there for me?
21:44Single-handed, high and dry and stranded.
21:51It wasn't ever meant to be any other how.
21:56Single-handed, roped and tied and branded.
22:02Someone's got to stand up straight and face tomorrow now.
22:33There's not a hole where the rain gets in and no one gives a damn.
22:42Well, I could change the room around, they would follow me wherever I am.
22:49Maybe if we talk about it, it'll all come out alright.
22:56Let's talk about it tomorrow and sleep on it tonight.
23:05Single-handed, high and dry and stranded.
23:12It wasn't ever meant to be any other how.
23:17Single-handed, roped and tied and branded.
23:24Someone's got to stand up straight and face tomorrow.
23:29Single-handed, high and dry and stranded.
23:36Someone's got to stand up straight and face tomorrow.
23:41Single-handed, roped and tied and branded.
23:48Someone's got to stand up straight and face tomorrow.
23:54Single-handed, high and dry and stranded.
24:01Someone's got to stand up straight and face tomorrow.
24:06Single-handed, roped and tied and branded.
24:13I found a woman now. Believe me, life is easier.
24:23Wouldn't do for everyone, but it seems to work for me.
24:30I was a crazy seed that blew until tomorrow.
24:37Nothing much to borrow nor to lend.
24:43Tied to fields and open skies. Crazy to the end.
24:52Dusty streets and takeaways are no place for Finland farm boys.
25:00Far beyond the fences and the fields of flashing gold.
25:07I was a crazy seed that tangled up the gardens.
25:15Where the summer hardens, I'm gonna grow.
25:21Enough, enough for any man. Go turn and turn around.
25:37¶¶ ¶¶
26:07A woman came and found me. Now perhaps I'm ready.
26:14Tell them all I'll bring her home. Open up the gates.
26:21I was a crazy seed that blew until tomorrow.
26:28Strung out on the roadside.
26:31But if each new season came, and I'm proud of her.
26:39Proud of me.
26:44Just a little, all the same.
27:01¶¶ ¶¶
27:22They gave me reasonable access.
27:28To the children that we made, reasonable access.
27:36We could have stayed together.
27:41If we tried a little harder.
27:45I thought about it for hours.
27:48As I sit watching dawns in this strange house.
27:53You lie asleep in hours.
27:57There's a blade of grass on my windowsill.
28:02I'm determined it's going to survive.
28:06I need to think that it needs me to stay alive.
28:13¶¶ ¶¶
28:23Save the tiger, save the lion.
28:27Save the children too.
28:31Try to save the ones you love.
28:35They may end up saving you.
28:38There's time they walk the tree unaware.
28:42Tigers in the street.
28:46And the shadows on the stairs.
28:50¶¶ ¶¶
29:04They gave me a suspended sentence.
29:10For breaking down the door.
29:13Suspended sentence.
29:17Told me it might have been more than that.
29:22You know the bit that really got me.
29:26Was when you told them all of those lies.
29:30That you feared for the children's safety.
29:34Couldn't look me in the eyes.
29:38Words like neglect and mental cruelty.
29:43Echoed round the hall.
29:47It took time to learn how to love you.
29:51To leave you took no time at all.
29:56¶¶ ¶¶
30:05Save the tiger, save the lion.
30:09Save the children too.
30:13Try to save the ones you love.
30:17They may end up saving you.
30:21There's time they won't catch me unaware.
30:23Tigers in the street.
30:27And the shadows on the stairs.
30:31¶¶ ¶¶
31:01¶¶ ¶¶
31:25They gave me absolutely nothing.
31:29For all the wasted years.
31:33Absolutely nothing.
31:37You fool them with your tears, you did.
31:42You get the house, you get the car.
31:47And the woman comes in to do.
31:51I get reasonable access to take them to the zoo.
31:56They're becoming strangers to me.
32:02They need to be older before they can see.
32:07How one sad blade of grass can mean so much to me.
32:16¶¶ ¶¶
32:25Save the tiger, save the lion.
32:30Save the children too.
32:34Try to save the ones you love.
32:38They may end up saving you.
32:42There's time they won't catch me unaware.
32:45Tigers in the street.
32:49And the shadows on the stairs.
32:55¶¶ ¶¶
33:25¶¶ ¶¶
33:55¶¶ ¶¶
34:06¶¶ So this is God's country.
34:10All so much to see.
34:13So this is God's country.
34:16The home of the free.
34:19¶¶ ¶¶
34:36¶¶ So this is God's country.
34:40All so much to see.
34:43So this is God's country.
34:45The home of the free.
34:49¶¶ ¶¶
35:19¶¶ Fire me, fire me, fire me. ¶¶
35:28¶¶ Oh please don't pass by me. ¶¶
35:32¶¶ Help me get my feet back on the ground. ¶¶
35:37¶¶ ¶¶
35:49¶¶ Scare me, scare me. ¶¶
35:55¶¶ Metal everywhere. ¶¶
36:00¶¶ Well it's tough out on the street. ¶¶
36:04¶¶ Can you stand the heat? ¶¶
36:07¶¶ Can you stand the strain? ¶¶
36:09¶¶
36:33¶¶ So this is God's country. ¶¶
36:36¶¶ Oh my, what a shame. ¶¶
36:43¶¶ So this is God's country. ¶¶
36:50¶¶ Oh my, what a shame. ¶¶
36:53¶¶ Oh my, what a shame. ¶¶
36:56¶¶
37:00¶¶ This is the way we are. ¶¶
37:03¶¶ This is the way we sing. ¶¶
37:08¶¶ We live in an angry world. ¶¶
37:13¶¶ We cannot run from one another. ¶¶
37:20¶¶ We wait ourselves behind every door. ¶¶
37:26¶¶ Nothing makes us better than we are. ¶¶
37:33¶¶ This is the way of the head. ¶¶
37:38¶¶ Forever we shall put out the light. ¶¶
37:44¶¶ Before we sleep to admit the morning. ¶¶
37:51¶¶ If we could light the way. ¶¶
37:57¶¶
38:08¶¶ So this is God's country. ¶¶
38:12¶¶ Oh my, what a shame. ¶¶
38:15¶¶ So this is God's country. ¶¶
38:18¶¶ Oh my, what a shame. ¶¶
38:20¶¶ Oh my, what a shame. ¶¶
38:23¶¶
38:50¶¶
39:05¶ America, all the world is watching. ¶¶
39:13¶ What does the future hold in store? ¶¶
39:17¶ The skeletons in your closet. ¶¶
39:22¶ They don't dance much anymore. ¶¶
39:27¶ But he that has no sin amongst us. ¶¶
39:31¶ Let him cast a stone. ¶¶
39:35¶ Come clear the hearth and set the table. ¶¶
39:40¶ Come sing the hero is home. ¶¶
39:45¶ And history hangs heavy on the shoulders of America. ¶¶
39:55¶ Peace with honor. ¶¶
39:58¶ Christ the dollar. ¶¶
40:00¶ Bring our liberty now. ¶¶
40:04¶ If you invent another word for peace. ¶¶
40:08¶ We can drink to that as well. ¶¶
40:13¶ But you know I sympathize. ¶¶
40:18¶ Does it help to know I sympathize? ¶¶
40:23¶ I detest your bland hysteria. ¶¶
40:26¶ Your burdens I can't share. ¶¶
40:28¶ I'll drink you full and love your music. ¶¶
40:31¶ But it doesn't fucking care. ¶¶
40:34¶ America. ¶¶
40:36¶ America. ¶¶
40:38¶ America. ¶¶
40:40¶ America. ¶¶
40:42¶ All the world still trembles. ¶¶
40:46¶ When the eagle spreads its wings. ¶¶
40:50¶ And history does bear this out. ¶¶
40:55¶ All of Europe's pawns and kings. ¶¶
40:59¶ They fought two mighty wars. ¶¶
41:03¶ Twice you laid the winning card. ¶¶
41:08¶ All in all, what some call ¶¶
41:13¶ A changing of the gods. ¶¶
41:17¶ And a grain of hope lays sadly ¶¶
41:20¶ At the feet of America. ¶¶
41:26¶ Peace with honor. ¶¶
41:28¶ Screams the dollar. ¶¶
41:31¶ Ring our liberty bell. ¶¶
41:35¶ If you invent another word for ¶¶
41:38¶ Peace. ¶¶
41:44¶ If you invent another word for ¶¶
41:47¶ Peace. ¶¶
41:49¶ We can drink to that as well. ¶¶
41:59¶ Peace. ¶¶
42:02¶ And swing a little. ¶¶
42:04¶ Now. ¶¶
42:06¶ Now. ¶¶
42:08¶ Now. ¶¶
42:10¶ Now. ¶¶
