Gang of Youths
hand of god
[Verse 1]
The sea's changing
The wind's fading
And coalescing in a widescreen scope
Ah, Amen
Words fail me
The 'burbs hail me
But in a way that I am glad to go
Ah, Amen
The damp's rising
And baptising and I was
Goddamn waylaid by the cost of it all
Ah, Amen
[Chorus]
So far, so good
But it's been a long while
And I've since understood
Just how you lived now that I am
Older, wiser and I've
Given up things myself like you
Halle, Hallelu
[Verse 2]
Ball's flying
The great's dying
The boss at Goodison was a Kopite coach
Halle, Hallelu
The mind's trailing
The hand's flailing
And Tagaloa sighed
And said, "I don't know"
Halle, Hallelu
Birds flying
And the state's lying
And they built a highway through our neighbourhood
Hallе, Hallelu
Halle, Hallelujah, Hallеlujah
[Chorus]
The truth was back home
I was a part-timer and I
Gave half my soul
To every heart vice
But I'm older and wiser
And I've given up chances, yeah, like you
Halle, Hallelu
Halle, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
