For Mr. Thomas - Van Morrison[00:00:00]
Written by:Robin Williamson[00:00:01]
From faded newsprint used to wrap a fish[00:00:22]
Inscrutably the muse selects your face[00:00:26]
As I sit drinking famously in an irish bar[00:00:32]
Five thousand miles and thirty years away[00:00:37]
With the usual ceremonial you were crowned one night[00:00:43]
King of the field where doctors nail the cows[00:00:48]
To make of the cock's quill the rights of language[00:00:54]
And the pricking heart a sword against the hours[00:00:58]
Let smirking scholars writhe in their favourite bondage[00:01:05]
And hold you plaintiff to the charge of art[00:01:09]
Exhibit a he falls on legendary lines[00:01:15]
Singing mother I don't want a pain here in my heart[00:01:19]
The judge in me sucks eggs and jerks the sacred meat[00:01:47]
But the boy in me still dreams in milk wood town[00:01:52]
Like two provincial bastards playing the galleries[00:01:58]
I hold your photo to a mirror upside down[00:02:02]
And as bacon wafts through hungry streets your ghost pervades[00:02:09]
Just like an old ex boxer aged twenty two[00:02:13]
Staged up like falstaff or the wild welsh rimbaud[00:02:19]
You'd laugh to see the monograms they make of you[00:02:23]
Ah Mr. Thomas let us ramble through the midnight fair[00:02:30]
Let us throw old bottles at the ferris wheel[00:02:34]
Let us paint library on the library let us raid the moonlight[00:02:39]
Let us steal whatever we are supposed to steal[00:02:45]
Let us watch while the days grow daily more mundane[00:02:51]
That rough god go riding with his shears[00:02:56]
Hack wide the belly of the swollen mountains[00:03:02]
And rip molten heroes forth from their furious tears[00:03:06]
Oh Mr. Thomas oh Mr. Thomas[00:03:11]
And let us steal whatever we're supposed to steal[00:03:16]
Mr. Thomas oh Mr. Thomas[00:03:22]
Why don't we feel whatever we're supposed to feel[00:03:27]
Oh Mr. Thomas Mr. Thomas[00:03:32]
Why don't we feel whatever we're supposed to feel[00:03:38]
Oh Mr. Thomas let us ramble through the midnight[00:03:43]
Let us throw bottles at the ferris wheel[00:03:49]
Let us paint library on the library let us raid the moonlight[00:03:54]
Let us steal whatever we are supposed to steal[00:03:59]
