Rapids |
Vagrant suspicious and quite out of breath |
Stumbles into a town where the people wear frowns |
Picks up a paper, the pages are blank |
They say «No news today, no more writers around» |
What price hope over adversity |
Cause to applaud this perversity |
I’m still deaf from the hydroplanes |
Blessed with a cynical gaze… |
No words in our own defence |
Independence our recompense |
Fate casting a finer line |
To pity or to pay |
These rapids we’re rolling on |
Seem calm when they’re good and gone |
Love, as good as the house it warms |
A million miles between us |
Still we’re heading the same way… |
I sing this song with my tongue in my cheek |
For the jilted, the jaundiced, the angry young men |
Who somehow believe that the status quo changes |
With juvenile slogans in downmarket rags |
What price hope over adversity |
Cause to applaud this perversity |
I’m still deaf from the hydroplanes |
Blessed with a cynical gaze… |
