lirik lagu richard thompson - gethsemane (2017)

[verse 1]
among the headstones you played as boys
crypts and tombs like a roomful of toys
just up the river from the smoke and the noise
gethsemane
and there’s war~whoops and secret signs in the trees
estuary smells coming up on the breeze
o perfect endless days like these
gethsemane
ah, gethsemane

[chorus]
sailboats on the cadie, pushbike on the quay
in your eyes therе’s fire, in your hand destiny
“o be somеthing, be something fine!”
something fine
something fine

[verse 2]
down the river, into the noise and the smoke
being daring with the staring, uncaring folk
laugh with you, laugh at you, you’ll never get the joke
gethsemane
and they broke your spirit there in the marines
they flushed your head down inside the latrines
frozen in your sacrament, derailed in your teens
never saw the enemy
o gethsemane
[chorus]
and those bosses betrayed soon let you go
the fire in your eyes, how could they know?
“o be something, be something fine!”
something fine
something fine

[verse 3]
now you got your own boys h~ll bent for leather
dead before they’re eighteen or bitter old men forever
they never saw the halo moon rise over the river
of gethsemane
now there’s a pain in your head puts lead in your shoes
better get it seen to, it’s gonna be bad news
how did the perfect world get so confused?
gethsemane
o gethsemane

[chorus]
who sucked out the freedom, days without end?
under the weight of it all you must bend
“o be something, be something fine!”
“be something, be something fine!”
something fine
something fine
something fine
