Lyrics for Dark Ages by Tull Jethro:
| | | Artist: | Tull Jethro |
| | Album: | Stormwatch | | Track: | Dark Ages | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | Darlings are you ready for the long winter's fall ?
said the lady in her parlour
said the butler in the hall.
Is there time for another ?
said the drunkard in his
sleep.
Not likely
said the little child. What's done
the Lord can
keep.
And the vicar stands a-praying
And the television dies
as the white dot
flickers and is gone
and no-one stops to cry.
The big jet rumbles over runway
miles
that scar the patchwork green
where slick tycoons and rich buffoons
have opened up the seam
of golden nights and champagne flights
ad-man
overkill
and in the raze
consumer crazed
we take the sugar pill.
Jagged fires mark the picket lines
the politicians weep
and mealy-mouthed
through corridors of power on tip-toe creep
Come and see bureaucracy
make its final
heave
and let the new disorder through
while senses take their leave.
Families screaming line the streets
and put the windows through
in corner
shops
where keepers kept
the country's life-blood blue.
Take their
pick
and try the trick
with loaves and fishes shared
and the vicar
shouts
as the lights go out
and no-one really cares.
Dark Ages
shaking the dead
Closed pages
better not read
Cold rages
burn in
