Intro

=====

There was a boy who came into this world

At the hands of a lady woman in a holy place

He wore a red coat and walked a bulldog

Saw them reflected in the mirror of the lakes

Lived in he shadow of the mountains

With the smells of disinfectant, dusty old leather

And the polished wood of his bed

No more than a baby feeding swans on the river

Holding the hand of his mother

And the wax paperbag of yesterdays bread

And his father on the other side of the world

On the ships railings and some far away tide

With the silent dry tear of home thoughts from abroad

In his far away eyes

In his far away eyes

Part 2

======

The smell of the wax on the wooden floor

Mixture of polish and soap

No children to fear or to play with

Rows of empty hooks for the coats

An upright piano and the boys in the choir

Still remind him of just before he was born

Remind him of just before he was breathing

Strange misty visions of God

E|------------------|

Turn the cities into families

Into villages of souls

Hovering in the air while they're sleeping

With their houses invisible

Race the moon between the buildings 

Running as fast as I could run

Send to me the ghosts of Christmas

Whispering: "You're the only one"

And one day as the boy lay sleeping in

The sunshine of a half remembered afternoon

A cloud of bee's with no particular aim, and no brain

Found the boy, decided that his time had come

Came down from the sky

Stung him in the sky

Again and again

Blue Pain

Screaming like baptism

Intraveinous, Jesus!, like being chosen

Blue pain from something with no brain

I can't explain

It's happening again

It's happening again

Oh mummy, daddy, won't you sit a while with me

Oh mummy, daddy, will you jog my memory

Tell me

Tall tales of Montego Bay, Table mountain, Flying Fish

Banana Spiders, Pots of Pain

And the sun on the equator

Setting like an ember thrown into deep water

From crimson to black

But coming back

Tomorrow

On the horizon

The blue pain

Fades to a point where it does not fade

It stayed...

Blue

Stirred his red coat heart to this strange engine

This love
