Let's pull this piano | |
Out from the wall, | |
Clear the young children | |
From out of the hall, | |
Stuff it with tender | |
Put 'paid' to it all … | |
Let it stoke the fires of the world | |
Let's beat this guitar | |
It was meant to be heard | |
The way a confession | |
Is dragged word by word | |
From out of the mouths | |
Of the sick and the cured … | |
Let it stoke the fires of the world | |
A clanging black train | |
Runs through the door | |
Connecting the fears | |
We hadn't before | |
Leaves them in ribbons | |
Strewn out on the floor, | |
Tangled as ever we sing … | |
Let's string up that harp | |
From the limb of a tree, | |
Let it swing out above us | |
And buckle our knees | |
A hymn for the hopeless here, | |
Thicker than thieves … | |
Let it stoke the fires of the world | |
A clanging black train | |
Cuts through the song | |
Connecting the fears | |
Along for so long | |
Leaves them in ribbons | |
Strewn out on the lawn, | |
Tangled as ever we sing … | |
Let your iron lungs, | |
My dark heart | |
Crack open with diamonds | |
When the real rumble starts | |
Stand naked in smoke, | |
Sending up sparks, | |
Let us stoke the fires of the world | |
Let us stoke the fires of the world |
