[00:46.10]Somebody screamed last night at the cinema
[00:52.91]In a prize-winning film about the Spanish Armada
[00:59.85]I wasn't into it anyway,
[01:05.86]but a girl got enraged and I wanted to say
[01:11.86]
[01:13.11]"Patience, don't start fires
[01:19.72]behind the lines in times of peace
[01:26.19]Patience, don't start fires"
[01:31.60]
[01:38.17]We leave at dawn,
[01:40.55]so you'd better pack your suitcase
[01:45.30]Full of intricate things that justify you.
[01:51.82]That don't ask favours or even questions,
[01:58.35]that don't get involved
[02:01.43]Or expect the truth.
[02:04.31]
[02:05.45]"Patience, don't start fires
[02:11.67]behind the lines in times of peace
[02:18.19]When troubles wait like storm clouds,
[02:24.71]the sun will rise in the East."
[02:31.25]Lights march forward from Hyde Park corner,
[02:44.37]Eyes gaze skyward at grey,
[02:52.45]everyone seems grey and tired.
[02:58.15]
[03:08.63]Now I've never been a believer,
[03:14.92]But my faith in myself has been put to the test.
[03:20.89]Nobody dreamed I'd amount to much anyway,
[03:27.45]Only time bears the proof, which is why I say...
[03:33.57]
[03:47.01][03:34.60]"Patience, don't start fires
[03:53.29][03:40.57]behind the lines in times of peace
[03:59.43]When troubles wait like storm clouds,
[04:05.63]the sun will rise in the East."
[04:24.70][04:18.49][04:11.70]Patience, don't start fires
