lyrics

BIRD OF LIFE

He’s somewhere down the end of town
somewhere down back streets

Working with the down and outs
struggling with self doubts
sail on old sorrows.

We’re all huddled in the freezing morn
we’re all waiting for the new dawn
sail on old sorrows
sail on ’til tomorrow

And fly - you bird of life
on these dark and lonely nights
for the priest is by my side.

And this is the dance......

SPRING '87 - THE DANCE

Yeah I’m back and I’m strong.....

The poet and the priest
are gonna get you
they’re gonna take your soul apart
they’re gonna climb into your heart.

Vascillators and earth violators, procrastinators
had all better watch out
’cos your time is coming fast.

Fascists, Marxists and bullshit artists
and all of those people who claim
they’re our masters
had better watch out
’cos your time’s not gonna last.

’Cos the poet and the priest are gonna get you
gonna take your soul apart
gonna climb into your heart.

The poet and the priest are gonna get you.....
The poet and the priest are gonna get you.....
The poet and the priest are gonna get you.....

Right in the heart
