What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I take your hand
2
We walk towards where the roses once grew
3
I lie back in the grass and dream of how it once was
4
The rubbishstrewn streets
5
Riperising smell of gutters and rain
6
The children abandoned
7
Mother recalls child in pool
8
What is that that lies? deadchilddead
9
I have such nightmares and you're all in all of them
10
It's worse than you or I can ever know
11
On the edge of the clouds we crouch
12
We smile and spit
13
The pool of saliva carrascates below our feet
14
It shifts
15
Children with knives begin to rise from it
16
They laugh and blow kisses at the moon
17
We think it's the rain
18
I see a bird move onto the table in my garden
19
Its beak scoops up the seeds
20
The green of the grass and the blue of the sky
21
Are immense and terrifying
22
Everything seems so close
23
So very very close
24
Should a storm come
25
Should a storm break and halo all around us
26
As some savage and blind god
27
Jerking his hands out to us
28
The birds drop all around us
29
I walk into the altar room
30
All the buddhas are smashed there
31
Avalokitesvara's hundred faces lie shattered
32
I have done this
33
I walk to the makeshift redbrick altar a hundred years ago
34
There is a small brass image there
35
I have built this
36
The red and black ants mill around
37
Unknown journeys
38
I take my lighter and torch them
39
I take my lighter and torch them
40
I weep, I weep
41
The ants scatter or writhe
42
I take my lighter and torch them torch them
43
I have done this
44
I am surrounded by butterflies
45
The chid's legs lay smashed
46
Please pray for him she says to me
47
Too late
48
Alas, oh so too late
49
I see the twinkling stars
50
I drop a photograph
51
I bend to pick it up
52
My heart leaps as i see your face
53
Stare up at me from the paper
54
As if still alive on this earth
55
When I return my eyes to the stars
56
They gathered
57
They pucker
58
And are blind
59
And are blind
60
So lost are we
61
Oh what have I become
62
I have become that I hate
63
I have become that I shall say no
64
The bird is dead now alas
65
A voice whispers to me
66
And says nothing nothing
67
There is nothing
68
I look to my right and see her face again
69
And again the world disappears
70
And all fall down
71
All fall down
72
All fall down I all fall down
73
All fall down I all fall down
74
We all fall down
75
We all fall down
