A Question Of Sport - Martin Carthy[00:00:00]

Oh I am humanity cast in the flood[00:00:09]

Waive your liberty as I come among you[00:00:12]

I ride the ark on a sea of blood[00:00:15]

They call me the Great Azania[00:00:18]

I soared like the dove released in the air[00:00:21]

When they tossed me[00:00:24]

Through the window tied to a chair[00:00:25]

I landed in the middle of Trafalgar Square[00:00:27]

Come to visit all your bad dreams upon you[00:00:30]

Now the first that I met when I came into land[00:00:33]

Was the Grantham grocer's daughter[00:00:36]

She cried aloud[00:00:39]

How sorry I am[00:00:40]

There wasn't anybody here for to caught you[00:00:42]

She crooned in my ear like I knew she could[00:00:45]

Her Cabinet briefing on the misunderstood[00:00:48]

Bathed my wounds in my very own blood[00:00:51]

Calling on the world press to support her[00:00:53]

Oh the cameras rattled and the questions flew[00:00:56]

Everybody sang Rule Britannia[00:00:59]

Cabinet jumped up two by two[00:01:02]

Joining in with their own memoranda[00:01:05]

They went maximum leverage minimum force[00:01:08]

You get your dividend but you gotta stay the course[00:01:11]

They sang as they all trooped off to the house[00:01:14]

God save our gracious TINA[00:01:17]

Oh they knew by the bruising around my body[00:01:41]

I clearly was a threat to the nation[00:01:44]

They knew that menace to life and limb[00:01:47]

Was a matter of interpretation[00:01:50]

They had me down[00:01:53]

At the dog track running like a hare[00:01:54]

I was huge on the replay screens up there[00:01:56]

Crowds flung their hats in the air[00:01:59]

Marvelling at my acceleration[00:02:02]

Oh they heard me cry when I fell among thieves[00:02:04]

The billy club beat a tattoo on me[00:02:08]

Joined the brokers and crowded the eaves[00:02:11]

Jostling to get the best view of me[00:02:13]

They sang[00:02:16]

Suffer little children and[00:02:16]

See how they run[00:02:18]

As the tear gas flew and the sjamboks sang[00:02:19]

Still as the white-walled necklace burned[00:02:22]

They prayed out aloud for their piece of me[00:02:24]

Oh the birdmen of Pollsmoor ranged in the dark[00:02:29]

Rand man come to saddle up and ride them[00:02:33]

Birdmen of Pollsmoor built them an ark[00:02:36]

No divine telegram to guide 'em[00:02:39]

Rand man shouted rand man cajoled[00:02:42]

Did the township jive for photo call[00:02:44]

The words of the birdmen spangled the wall[00:02:47]

A weeping tear gas diadem[00:02:50]

He said I am humanity cast in the flood[00:02:52]

Waive your liberty as I come among you[00:02:55]

I ride the ark on a sea of blood[00:02:59]

They call me the Great Azania[00:03:01]

I soared like the dove released in the air[00:03:04]

You left me for dead at the foot of the stair[00:03:07]

And when I rise in the middle of Trafalgar Square[00:03:10]

Resurrection's all around you[00:03:13]
