Political Lies - Robin Williamson[00:00:00]

Written by：Robin Williamson/Steve Lake[00:00:01]

In the summer that my son was born[00:00:23]

In the same changing town that fathered me[00:00:28]

I retraced many steps trying[00:00:33]

To fill my own footsteps[00:00:35]

But this is the truth perhaps there is no return[00:00:38]

Political lies political promises[00:00:44]

This shadow everywhere[00:00:49]

Sense of powerlessness[00:00:52]

You and I left stumbling[00:00:55]

In their blindness[00:00:58]

The blindness of Wall Street[00:00:59]

Moscow[00:01:02]

And White Hall[00:01:03]

How many miles I walked by the union canal[00:01:14]

Thinking of the hands that made it[00:01:19]

The hands of the navies[00:01:22]

Thinking of the patient horses[00:01:24]

That pulled along the barges[00:01:27]

Whose tow ropes have rubbed groves[00:01:29]

On the pillars of the bridges[00:01:32]

And I thought this What rubs you rubs me[00:01:34]

Political lies political promises[00:01:41]

This shadow everywhere[00:01:46]

The sense of powerlessness[00:01:48]

You and I left waiting in the history[00:01:51]

A history of mystery a history of betrayal[00:01:55]

All along the banks of the union canal[00:02:09]

I walked in the flaming sunset[00:02:15]

Of one summer's evening[00:02:16]

Scottish skin head glue head Scottish flag[00:02:20]

The tune in his head[00:02:22]

Looks at the sky and asks me[00:02:23]

What does it mean[00:02:26]

Political lies political promises[00:02:31]

This shadow everywhere[00:02:35]

The sense of powerlessness[00:02:37]

You and I left basking in the anguish[00:02:41]

The anguish of those we have failed to hear[00:02:45]

In the night I listen to my own darkness[00:03:09]

I think being born and dying have the same tax bases[00:03:15]

I think about the signature of God on the prison[00:03:19]

And about following sides and becoming lost again[00:03:23]

Political lies political promises[00:03:30]

This shadow everywhere the sense of powerlessness[00:03:35]

And you and I left with the same old question[00:03:40]

The sheer unspeakable strangeness[00:03:45]

Of being here at all[00:03:47]
