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