Testo Gethsemane - Richard Thompson
Testo della canzone Gethsemane (Richard Thompson), tratta dall'album Acoustic Classics II
Among the headstones, you played as boys
Crypts and tombs like a room full of toys
Just up the river, 'round the smoke and the noise
Oh, Gethsemane
There's war whoops and secret signs in the trees
Estuary smiles coming out from the breeze
They're perfect, endless days like these
Oh, Gethsemane
Oh, Gethsemane
Silver bugs on the cake, pushbike on the quay
In your eyes, there's fire, in your hand, destiny
Oh, be something, be something fine
Something fine
Down the river, into the noise and the smoke
Being daring with the staring of caring folk
Who laugh with you, laugh at you, you'll never get the joke
Gethsemane
They broke your spirit there in the Marines
Flushed your head down inside the latrines
Fooling in the sacrament, dreads in your teens
Never saw the enemy
Oh, Gethsemane
Those bosses betrayed so much ago
With fire in your eyes, how could they know?
Oh, be something, be something fine
Something fine
Now you've got your own boys, hellbent for leather
Dead before eighteen, but you're a man forever
Never saw the haloed moon rise over the river
Oh, Gethsemane
Now there's a pain in your head, puts lead in your shoes
Better get it seen to, it's gonna be bad news
How did the perfect world get so confused?
Oh, Gethsemane
Oh, Gethsemane
You sucked out the freedom, danced with the dead
Under the weight of an officer's bed
Oh, be something, be something fine
Be something, be something fine
Something fine, something fine
Thank you
Thanks very much
