Really don't mind if you sit this one out. | |
My words but a whisper -- your deafness a shout. | |
I may make you feel but i can't make you think. | |
Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink. | |
So you ride yourselves over the fields and | |
You make all your animal deals and | |
Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick. | |
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in | |
The tidal destruction | |
The moral melee. | |
The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers | |
The newfangled way. | |
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and | |
Your suntan does rapidly peel and | |
Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick. | |
And the love that i feel is so far away: | |
I'm a bad dream that i just had today -- and you | |
Shake your head and | |
Say it's a shame. | |
Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth. | |
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth. | |
Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song. | |
See there! a son is born -- and we pronounce him fit to fight. | |
There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night. | |
We'll | |
Make a man of him | |
Put him to trade | |
Teach him | |
To play monopoly and | |
To sing in the rain. | |
The poet and the painter casting shadows on the water -- | |
As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea. | |
The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other -- | |
As the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed. | |
The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling -- | |
But the master of the house is far away. | |
The horses stamping -- their warm breath clouding | |
In the sharp and frosty morning of the day. | |
And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword. | |
And the youngest of the family is moving with authority. | |
Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside. | |
The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river | |
Where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea: | |
The builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose | |
And contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need. | |
The young men of the household have | |
All gone into service and | |
Are not to be expected for a year. | |
The innocent young master -- thoughts moving ever faster -- | |
Has formed the plan to change the man he seems. | |
And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword. | |
And the oldest of the family is moving with authority. | |
Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son who puts him to the run. | |
What do you do when | |
The old man's gone -- do you want to be him? and | |
Your real self sings the song. | |
Do you want to free him? | |
No one to help you get up steam -- | |
And the whirlpool turns you `way off-beam. | |
Later. | |
I've come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways. | |
My father was a man-of-power whom everyone obeyed. | |
So come on all you criminals! | |
I've got to put you straight just like i did with my old man -- | |
Twenty years too late. | |
Your bread and water's going cold. | |
Your hair is too short and neat. | |
I'll judge you all and make damn sure that no-one judges me. | |
You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone -- you meet the stares. | |
You're unaware that your doings aren't done. | |
And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be. | |
But how are we supposed to see where we should run? | |
I see you shuffle in the courtroom with | |
Your rings upon your fingers and | |
Your downy little sidies and | |
Your silver-buckle shoes. | |
Playing at the hard case, you follow the example of the comic-paper idol | |
Who lets you bend the rules. | |
So! | |
Come on ye childhood heroes! | |
Won't you rise up from the pages of your comic-books | |
Your super crooks | |
And show us all the way. | |
Well! make your will and testament. won't you? | |
Join your local government. | |
We'll have superman for president | |
Let robin save the day. | |
You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time. | |
The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line. | |
And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are -- | |
And take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars. | |
And you wonder who to call on. | |
So! where the hell was biggles when you needed him last saturday? | |
And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though? | |
They're all resting down in cornwall -- | |
Writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition | |
Of the boy scout manual. | |
Later. | |
See there! a man born -- and we pronounce him fit for peace. | |
There's a load lifted from his shoulders with the discovery of his disease. | |
We'll | |
Take the child from him | |
Put it to the test | |
Teach it | |
To be a wise man | |
How to fool the rest. | |
Quote | |
We will be geared to the average rather than the exceptional | |
God is an overwhelming responsibility | |
We walked through the maternity ward and saw 218 babies wearing nylons | |
Cats are on the upgrade | |
Upgrade? hipgrave. oh, mac. | |
Later | |
In the clear white circles of morning wonder, | |
I take my place with the lord of the hills. | |
And the blue-eyed soldiers stand slightly discoloured (in neat little rows) | |
Sporting canvas frills. | |
With their jock-straps pinching, they slouch to attention, | |
While queueing for sarnies at the office canteen. | |
Saying -- how's your granny and | |
Good old ernie: he coughed up a tenner on a premium bond win. | |
The legends (worded in the ancient tribal hymn) lie cradled | |
In the seagull's call. | |
And all the promises they made are ground beneath the sadist's fall. | |
The poet and the wise man stand behind the gun, | |
And signal for the crack of dawn. | |
Light the sun. | |
Do you believe in the day? do you? | |
Believe in the day! the dawn creation of the kings has begun. | |
Soft venus (lonely maiden) brings the ageless one. | |
Do you believe in the day? | |
The fading hero has returned to the night -- and fully pregnant with the day, | |
Wise men endorse the poet's sight. | |
Do you believe in the day? do you? believe in the day! | |
Let me tell you the tales of your life of | |
Your love and the cut of the knife | |
The tireless oppression | |
The wisdom instilled | |
The desire to kill or be killed. | |
Let me sing of the losers who lie in the street as the last bus goes by. | |
The pavements ar empty: the gutters run red -- while the fool | |
Toasts his god in the sky. | |
So come all ye young men who are building castles! | |
Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus. | |
Mark the precise nature of your fear. | |
Let me help you pick up your dead as the sins of the father are fed | |
With | |
The blood of the fools and | |
The thoughts of the wise and | |
From the pan under your bed. | |
Let me make you a present of song as | |
The wise man breaks wind and is gone while | |
The fool with the hour-glass is cooking his goose and | |
The nursery rhyme winds along. | |
So! come all ye young men who are building castles! | |
Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus. | |
Mark the precise nature of your fear. | |
See! the summer lightning casts its bolts upon you | |
And the hour of judgement draweth near. | |
Would you be | |
The fool stood in his suit of armour or | |
The wiser man who rushes clear. | |
So! come on ye childhood heroes! | |
Won't your rise up from the pages of your comic-books | |
Your super-crooks and | |
Show us all the way. | |
Well! make your will and testament. | |
Won't you? join your local government. | |
