1
I thought I'd take a walk today
2
It's mistake I sometimes make
3
Kids lay asleep in bed
4
My wife lay wide awake
5
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 then gently squeezed my hand
9
Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision
10
Call it intuition, somethin' learned from mother
11
But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see
12
The Sword of Damocles hangin' directly above her
13
Oh Lord, oh my Lord
14
Oh Lord
15
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 makin' any sense
21
They claimed I'd lost the plot
22
Kept sayin' that I was not
23
The man I used to be
24
They held their babes aloft
25
Threw marshmellows 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, the way they stared at me
30
The spear of a destiny are stickin' on right through me
31
Oh Lord, oh my Lord
32
Oh Lord
33
Have I offended thee?
34
Wrap your tender arms round me
35
Oh Lord, oh Lord
36
Oh my Lord
37
Now I'm at the hairdressers
38
People watch me as they move past
39
A guy wearin' plastic antlers
40
Presses his bum against the glass
41
Now I'm down on my hands and knees
42
And it's so fuckin' hot
43
Someone cries, what are you lookin' 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 you are cryin' now
52
Are just your answered prayers
53
Ladders of life we scale merrily
54
Move mysteriously around
55
So that when you think you're climbin' up, man
56
In fact you're climbin' 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
Have I offended thee?
64
Wrap your tender arms round me
65
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
66
Oh My Lord
