The Yearning Album

Bathe me in shadows of Commission flats.

Though the cold does touch my arm,

I turn to face the fire on telly.

A generation with our hands in blood,

Like all the generations gone before,

And though we thought we learnt our lessons,

It seems we learnt them too well.

So darling share this wine with me.

We'll be together on the eve of World War III

And will the children that have grown so high

In the back of our minds - slip through our fingers like oil.

I think I must have seen a thousand films

Where all the boys come back from Vietnam

And when they said they'd purged their conscience,

For a second I thought they meant it.

So in the congress hear them plead,

And try and carve their words in history

Though we all fear the loss of life,

Our leaders fear the rise in global petrol prices.

So darling share this wine with me.

We'll be together on the eve of World War III

And will the children that have grown so high

In the back of our minds - slip through or fingers like oil.

So darling share this wine with me.

We'll be together on the eve of World War III

And will the children that have grown so high

In the back of our minds - slip through or fingers like oil.

A word on the fill's -

According to Craig at BHP, the G string is played open for

both FILL's #1 & #2. I'm undecided, though I'm starting to

think this may be the case.

HEIDELBERG

~~~~~~~~~~

Things of Stone and Wood

Timing: 4/4

Well I got your breath, [Whole verse is played

with a palm-muted A, play

But I do not breathe your politics FIG #1 repeatedly

over the top]

While you'd sing

With eyes so close together

We focus in different directions,

Hey we look the same

But not the same way,

Same way at all.

 

 

 

 

With summer painted 'cross the sky,

I see this child do laps around his sheltered life

(Hey .....

Such lofted dreams fill his head

my little one ...)

He thinks he talks with God

He thinks he reads the future

(Hey ......

Between the red brick and the back fence

my little one .....)

While father swore that we must hold the shore

Against the evils in this world,

If I must watch this sunset

I vow I will dream of Heidelberg.
