The Future - Teddy Thompson.mp3

[00:06.820]Give me back my broken night
[00:09.510]My mirrored room
[00:11.190]My secret life
[00:12.770]It's lonely here
[00:14.700]There's no one left to torture
[00:17.280]
[00:19.830]Give me absolute control
[00:23.160]Over every living soul
[00:26.470]And lie beside me baby
[00:29.280]That's an order
[00:31.220]
[00:33.420]Give me crack and anal sex
[00:36.350]Take the only tree that's left
[00:39.980]Stuff it up the hole
[00:42.560]In your culture
[00:44.060]
[00:46.860]Give me back the Berlin wall
[00:49.810]Give me Stalin and St Paul
[00:53.270]I've seen the future brother
[00:56.340]It is murder
[00:58.210]
[01:00.330]Things are going to slide
[01:03.780]Slide in all directions
[01:06.280]Won't be nothing
[01:07.850]Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:12.980]The blizzard
[01:14.550]The blizzard of the world
[01:16.670]Has crossed the threshold
[01:18.370]And it has overturned
[01:22.320]The order of the soul
[01:24.810]
[01:26.680]When they said
[01:28.070]Repent repent
[01:31.940]
[01:33.010]I wonder what they meant
[01:35.570]
[01:36.760]When they said
[01:38.710]Repent repent
[01:43.160]I wonder what they meant
[01:45.210]
[01:46.710]When they said
[01:48.720]Repent repent
[01:52.860]I wonder what they meant
[01:55.490]
[02:01.090]You don't know me from the wind
[02:03.910]You never will
[02:05.470]You never did
[02:07.350]I was the little jew
[02:10.160]Who wrote the Bible
[02:12.290]
[02:14.050]I've seen the nations rise and fall
[02:17.170]I've heard their stories
[02:18.930]Heard them all
[02:20.620]But love's the only engine of survival
[02:25.880]
[02:27.250]Your servant here
[02:29.070]He has been told
[02:30.630]To say it clear
[02:32.190]To say it cold
[02:34.090]It's over
[02:35.390]It ain't going
[02:36.890]Any further
[02:38.080]
[02:40.650]And now the wheels of heaven stop
[02:43.910]You feel the devil's riding crop
[02:47.350]Get ready for the future
[02:49.980]It is murder
[02:51.980]
[02:53.800]Things are going to slide
[02:57.610]Slide in all directions
[03:00.370]Won't be nothing
[03:01.740]Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:06.630]The blizzard
[03:08.330]The blizzard of the world
[03:10.450]Has crossed the threshold
[03:12.130]And it has overturned
[03:14.210]The order of the soul
[03:17.390]
[03:20.280]When they said
[03:21.710]Repent repent
[03:26.660]I wonder what they meant
[03:28.920]
[03:30.480]When they said
[03:32.350]Repent repent
[03:36.550]I wonder what they meant
[03:38.870]
[03:40.300]When they said
[03:42.420]Repent repent
[03:46.310]I wonder what they meant
[03:48.700]
[03:53.150]There'll be the breaking of the ancient
[03:56.890]Western code
[03:58.400]
[04:00.090]Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:04.660]
[04:06.280]There'll be phantoms
[04:08.790]There'll be fires on the road
[04:11.650]
[04:13.230]And a white man dancing
[04:17.310]
[04:19.670]You'll see a woman
[04:21.920]Hanging upside down
[04:25.150]
[04:27.070]Her features covered by her fallen gown
[04:31.720]
[04:33.090]And all the lousy little poets
[04:36.720]Coming round
[04:37.780]Trying to sound like Charlie Manson
[04:41.540]
[04:43.350]And the white man dancin
[04:48.000]
[04:53.730]Give me back the Berlin wall
[04:57.540]Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:00.370]Give me Christ
[05:02.060]Or give me Hiroshima
[05:04.880]
[05:06.880]Destroy another fetus now
[05:10.130]We don't like children anyhow
[05:13.570]I've seen the future baby
[05:16.200]It is murder
[05:18.070]
[05:19.900]Things are going to slide
[05:23.450]Slide in all directions
[05:26.220]Won't be nothing
[05:27.600]Nothing you can measure anymore
[05:32.470]The blizzard
[05:34.030]The blizzard of the world
[05:36.040]Has crossed the threshold
[05:37.730]And it has overturned
[05:39.670]The order of the soul
[05:42.170]
[05:45.750]When they said
[05:47.190]Repent repent
[05:51.820]I wonder what they meant
[05:54.710]
[05:55.570]When they said
[05:57.320]Repent repent
[06:01.760]I wonder what they meant
[06:03.950]
[06:05.040]When they said
[06:07.410]Repent repent
[06:11.820]I wonder what they meant I wonder what they meant
