1
Pushing through the market square
2
So many mothers sighing
3
News had just come over
4
We had five years left to sigh in
5
News guy wept and squarely told us
6
Earth was really dying
7
Cried so much his face was wet
8
Then I knew he was not lying
9
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
10
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
11
My brain hurt like a warehouse, had no room to spare
12
I had to cram so much everything in there
13
All the fat-skinny people
14
And all the tall-short people
15
And all the nobody people
16
And all the somebody people
17
Never thought I'd need so many people
18
A girl my age went off her head
19
Hit some tiny children
20
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off
21
I think she would have killed them
22
A soldier with a broken arm
23
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
24
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
25
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
26
And I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
27
Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
28
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
29
Don't think you knew you were in this song
30
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
31
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
32
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
33
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
34
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
35
Five years, what a surprise
36
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
37
Five years, that's all we've got
38
We've got five years stuck on my eyes
39
Five years, what a surprise
40
Five years, my brain hurts a lot
41
Five years, that's all we've got
42
We've got five years
43
Five years, stuck on my eyes
44
Five years
45
Five years
