The Crowd |
| Lord unchain my hands |
| Let me sing inside the crowded trams |
| Let me dance among the traffic jams |
| We’re going to sleep |
| On the St Kilda sands |
| Lord unbind my feet |
| Let me mingle with the good people |
| We meet |
| Water rising up into the street |
| Unbind my feet |
| 'The apparition of these faces in The crowd; |
| Petals on a wet black bough" |
| Ezra Pound found the formula |
| Our houses are rectangular |
| But life is curved not angular |
| So when things start to strangular |
| Remember |
| Rain still falls on the halls of power |
| New babies being born every hour |
| And the eagle keeps watch on the old clock tower |
| Over me… |
| On the train I refrain from sitting with head and shoulders bowed |
| They told me time is of the essence |
| No wandering allowed |
| But then I saw a pretty girl |
| Whose features stood out in the crowd |
| Went ten minutes past my stop waiting for her to look around |
| I’m just another clown kicking around in Melbourne town |
| Cooling out, relaxing watching the |
| World go round |
| So if you ever have the time |
| And you want to go drink some wine |
| I’d rather greet you with a smile |
| Than greet you with a frown… |
| Lord unchain my hands |
| Let me sing inside the crowded trams |
| Let me dance among the traffic jams |
| We’re going to sleep |
| On the St Kilda sands |
| Lord unbind my feet |
| Let me mingle with the good people |
| We meet |
| Water rising up into the street |
| Unbind my feet |
