I was an August baby |
| [00:19.700] |
|
| [00:24.080] |
Conceived by the Christmas lights |
| [00:27.080] |
|
| [00:27.830] |
I came into the world by the setting sun |
| [00:33.710] |
|
| [00:34.640] |
On a humid summer night |
| [00:38.080] |
When my grandmother held me for the very first time |
| [00:40.640] |
She thanked God I looked like |
| [00:42.250] |
My daddy |
| [00:42.680] |
|
| [00:43.430] |
And I never quite knew just |
| [00:44.990] |
What she meant |
| [00:46.060] |
But I knew she was a lit-tle too happy |
| [00:48.160] |
And now I see |
| [00:49.030] |
|
| [00:50.660] |
You can't change a stubborn mind |
| [00:53.530] |
|
| [00:55.750] |
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind |
| [01:00.450] |
What does it matter anyway |
| [01:04.570] |
|
| [01:07.200] |
In our |
| [01:07.630] |
Darkest hour we're all just shades of grey |
| [01:12.780] |
|
| [01:25.660] |
They got married in a tiny chapel |
| [01:31.600] |
1965 |
| [01:33.040] |
|
| [01:36.160] |
Malcolm X was on the radio |
| [01:39.720] |
|
| [01:42.290] |
When he took her as his wife |
| [01:46.100] |
And she looked so pretty that September day |
| [01:48.350] |
And her older brother cried as he gave her away |
| [01:51.100] |
And the minister looked like he didn't know what to say |
| [01:54.160] |
|
| [01:56.660] |
And then he spoke |
| [01:57.850] |
|
| [01:58.410] |
You can't change a stubborn mind |
| [02:01.670] |
|
| [02:03.660] |
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind |
| [02:09.480] |
What does it matter anyway |
| [02:13.410] |
In our |
| [02:15.440] |
Darkest hour we're all just shades of grey |
| [02:20.500] |
|
| [02:53.280] |
And when my grandmother held me |
| [02:54.780] |
For the very first time |
| [02:55.900] |
She thanked God |
| [02:57.030] |
I looked like my daddy |
| [02:58.650] |
And I never gave a |
| [02:59.710] |
Damn just what she meant |
| [03:01.150] |
But I knew she was a little too happy |
| [03:03.840] |
And now I see |
| [03:04.650] |
|
| [03:06.090] |
You can't change a stubborn mind |
| [03:09.910] |
|
| [03:11.040] |
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind |
| [03:16.530] |
What does it matter anyway |
| [03:19.910] |
|
| [03:21.600] |
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey |
| [03:27.720] |
|
| [03:31.100] |
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of |
| [03:36.470] |
Darkest hour we're all just |
| [03:39.160] |
|
| [03:40.850] |
Shades of grey - Hey Hey Hey |
| [03:48.220] |
|
| [03:52.660] |
It doesn't matter anyway Don't give a damn |
| [03:59.790] |
Don't give a damn |
| [04:00.600] |
Don't give a damn what they say |
| [04:04.410] |
|
| [04:06.790] |
We're all just shades of grey |
| [04:09.350] |
|
| [04:12.230] |
We're all just shades of grey |
| [04:16.910] |
|
| [04:19.670] |
Shades of grey |
