Halfway through the wood.
Others may deceive you.
You decide what's good.
You decide alone....
But no one is alone.
Motor - power forks - motion drive - motor forks - motion drive - motor forks - motion drive - power forks - motion drive - propaganda On joyless lanes we walk in lines a calm but steady flow. Accompanied by loud commands our strength is running low. Another hope feeds another dream another truth installed by the machine. A secret wish the marrying of lies today comes true what common sense denies. Rotating wheels are destiny in flame the city lies. Machines call out for followers far out into the night. The calls of the machines drowning in the steam. Another hope feeds another dream another truth installed by the machine. A secret wish the marrying of lies today comes true what common sense denies. The calls of the machines drowning in the steam. On joyless lanes we walk in lines a calm but steady flow. Our strength is running low. Another hope - another dream - another truth - installed by the machine - installed by the machine.
Propaganda, "P-Machinery", 1985
every word i say is strong i know
going gone and out of sight are all the same
and you fought, and fought i know
say it's a good time to let it go
in the middle of the night when the lights are low
wait, there's a calm in the bitter cold
in the middle of the nights when the lights are low
we'll have time to wine and dine another day
we can spend all of our money
every single sign look the other way
is it gone? is it out of sight?
over and over conversations play
in your humble way, in your mind
going gone and out of sight is yesterday
and you want to pray for your life
say, it's a good time to let it go
in the middle of the night when lights are low
wait, there's a calm in the bitter cold
in the middle of the night when the lights are low
over and over almost every day
things you didn't see wont let you go
maybe next time you can find a better way
when it's cold, it's cold, i know
say, it's a good time to let it go
in the middle of the night when the lights are low
wait, there's a calm in the bitter cold
in the middle of the night when the lights are low
in the middle of the night when the lights are low
in the middle of the night when the lights are low"
Tim Minchin - Pope Song from Fraser Davidson on Vimeo.
Their sleep is filled with dreams, I never can fulfill them
I am a town.
I am a church beside the highway where the ditches never drain
I'm a Baptist like my daddy, and Jesus knows my name
I am memory and stillness, I am lonely in old age
I am not your destination
I am clinging to my ways
I am a town.
