Such a sad procession, winding down the lane And what a strange impression is branded on my brain A band was playing -- endless, mindless It was like a hooligan's lament It was dumb, but it was timeless I still don't know what it meant
And whatever needs to happen Let it happen, let it be Through all I am protected Grace is effected Over me
Behold the lights of London! The skipper said that his hands shook His aura eaten by his jealously and all the drugs he took He said "This is the real world buddy! Toughen up your ass, or it'll break." I said "I'm not your buddy, buddy, and your real world is a fake."
(Here comes the peace campaigner She says the end justifies her means Her words so full of reason fell like napalm on my dreams I said "Peace is not a word, never!" She calls me traitor, I just grin I said "You've gotta live it every moment, or else you're just sucking wind")
And whatever needs to happen Let it happen, let it be Through all I am protected Grace is effected Over me
(The DJ casts his malediction As the wedding guests appear It was as cruel as any fiction I still carry the souvenir) (The DJ took his vengeance As the wedding guests arrived There was malice in his handshake Quicksand in his eyes) As he slunk across the courtyard From far off I heard a horn Somewhere in the bleak mid-distance Something beautiful is born
And whatever needs to happen Let it happen, let it be Through all I am protected Grace is effected Over me
I stumbled down a street of shadows A black alleluia split the night (Prostitutes / Anarchists) and priests were playing stripjack Underneath the cruel lamplight I came upon a weeping soldier He said "I'm all washed up now, huh" But when I glanced across his shoulder He held a royal flush
And whatever needs to happen Let it happen, let it be Through all I am protected Grace is effected Over me
I'm still here, I'm still wheeling I'm who I thought I was, or just about I'll be walking down this boulevard Until my legs give out Thoughts like storms and seas are raging I know it is a matter of degree But it's not the world outside that's changing It's ME!
And whatever needs to happen Let it happen, let it be Through all I am protected Grace is effected Over me Over me Over me Over me Over me Over me Over me Grace is effected Over meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
