1
I thought I'd take a walk today
2
It's a mistake I sometimes make
3
My kids lay asleep in bed
4
My wife lay wide-awake
5
Kissed her softly on the brow
6
Tried not to make a sound
7
But with stony eyes she looked at me
8
And gently squeezed my hand
9
Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision
10
Call it intuition, or something learned from mother
11
But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see
12
The Sword of Damocles hanging directly above her
13
Oh Lord
14
Oh my Lord
15
Oh Lord
16
How have I offended thee?
17
Wrap your tender arms around me
18
Oh Lord
19
Oh Lord
20
Oh My Lord
21
They called at me through the fence
22
They were not making any sense
23
They claimed that I'd lost the plot
24
Kept saying that I was not
25
The man I used to be
26
They held their babes aloft
27
Threw marsh mellows at the Security
28
And said that I'd grown soft
29
Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion,
30
But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me
31
For even I could see, the way they stared at me
32
The Spear of Destiny are sticking right through me
33
Oh Lord
34
Oh my lord
35
Oh Lord
36
How have I offended thee?
37
Wrap your tender arms round me
38
Oh Lord
39
Oh lord
40
Oh My Lord
41
Now I'm at the hairdresser's
42
People watch me as they move past
43
A guy wearing plastic antlers
44
Presses his bum against the glass
45
Now I'm down on my hands and knees
46
And it's so fucking hot!
47
Someone cries, "What are you looking for?"
48
I scream, "The plot, the plot!"
49
I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home
50
She screams, "Leave us alone!" I say "Hey, it's only me"
51
The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror
52
I look back and shiver; I can't even believe what I can see
53
Be mindful of the prayers you send
54
Pray hard but to pray with care
55
For the tears you are crying now
56
Are just your answered prayers
57
The ladders of life we scale merrily
58
Move mysteriously around
59
So that when you think you're climbing up, man
60
In fact you're climbing down
61
Into the hollows of glamour, o where the spike and hammer
62
With telescopic camera, they chose to turn the screw
63
Oh I hate them, Ma!
64
Oh I hate them, Pa!
65
Oh I hate them all!
66
For what they went and done to you
67
Oh Lord Oh my Lord
68
Oh Lord
69
How have I offended thee?
70
Wrap your tender arms round me
71
Oh Lord Oh Lord
72
Oh My Lord
