I'll need tonight to sit and think about this
|
Think what to do.
|
I'll take some strength to banish hollow sorrow.
|
Hollow sorrow's nothing new.
|
Just enough strength to last until tomorrow
|
Until I believe in my soul.
|
Tonight I lost sight of all purpose
|
Despite all this trickery you told me was right.
|
I was such a good boy I let you hold the door
|
So kind, so nice, where's my prize?
|
(That's all there ever is) Oh yeah yeah yeah?
|
(That's all there ever was) Ah you must be fucking joking.
|
(The same for everyone) Oh yes. Yes yes.
|
Would you repeat that. Break it to me gently,
|
Stand over there.
|
Oh I know I was an arrogant boy but I let you hold the door
|
Oh I was kind. I was nice, where's the prize?
|
And I'm on the train from New Street
|
To Euston. I'm going out to Harrow again
|
And I'm trying to get the feeling
|
That I had in nineteen seventy two.
|
Oh but you're going too fast for me here,
|
I'm saying, wait a minute there, wait a minute there
|
Hold it, stop! Let me get this clear
|
(That's all there ever is) oh yeah yeah yeah?
|
(That's all there ever was) yes, yes. ha ha ha.
|
(The same for everyone) Oh yes. yes. yes.
|
You see I know what this is, I know
|
What's going on here, this is just the difference between . . .
|
It's the battle between the body and the soul. The spirit
|
And what's needed here. . .
|
What I intend to do now is I'm going to punish my body.
|
I'll punish the body to believe in the soul, I will punish
|
my body, until I believe in my soul.
