[00:00.000] 作曲 : Richard Colburn/Bob Kildea/Chris Geddes/Sarah Martin/Stevie Jackson/Stuart Murdoch
[00:35.10]Lying on my bed I was reading French
[00:38.40]With the light too bright for my senses
[00:42.79]From this hiding place life was way too much
[00:46.10]It was loud and rough round the edges
[00:50.3]So I faced the wall when an old man called
[00:53.75]Out of dreams that I would die there
[00:57.60]But a sight unseen you were pulling strings
[01:01.75]You had a different idea
[01:06.20]I was like a child I was lying strong
[01:09.61]And my father lifted me up there
[01:13.88]Took me to a place where they checked my body
[01:17.20]My soul was floating in thin-air
[01:21.45]I clung to the bed and I clung to the past
[01:25.4]I clung to the welcome darkness
[01:28.56]But at the end of the night there's a green green light
[01:32.70]The quiet before the madness
[01:36.53]There was a girl that sang like the chime of a bell
[01:40.39]And she put out her arm she touched me when I was in hell
[01:47.55]When I was in hell
[01:52.76]Someone sang a song and I sang along
[01:56.26]Cause I knew the words from my childhood
[02:00.43]Intellect ambition they fell away
[02:03.70]And they locked me up for my own good
[02:07.68]But I didn't mind cause the silence was kind
[02:11.63]It spoke to me in whispers
[02:15.29]There was the sound of the wind and the cold cold dawn
[02:19.19]And the quiet hum of business
[02:23.8]Let me dangle awhile in this waiting room
[02:26.89]I don't need to go I don't need to know what you're doing
[02:34.14]Know what you're doing
[03:09.70]Lying on my side you were half awake
[03:13.10]And your face was tired and crumpled
[03:17.53]If I had a camera I'd snap you now
[03:20.79]Cause there's beauty in every stumble
[03:24.60]We are out of practice we're out of sight
[03:28.95]On the edge of nobody's empire
[03:32.50]And if we live by books and we live by hope
[03:36.43]Does that make us targets for gunfire
[03:41.14]Now I look at you you're a mother of two
[03:44.24]You're a quiet revolution
[03:48.53]Marching with the crowd singing dirty and loud
[03:51.85]For the people's emancipation
[03:55.49]Did I do okay did I pave the way
[03:59.70]Was I strong when you were wanting
[04:03.45]I was tied to the yoke with a decent bloke
[04:07.8]Who was stern but never daunting
[04:11.16]And he told me to push and he made me feel well
[04:14.96]He told to me to leave that vision of hell to the dying
[04:22.25]Oh to the dying
