Purity (BBC In Concert 5th Nov 1990) (Live) - New Model Army[00:00:00]
Written by:Justin Sullivan[00:00:01]
The rains move in eastwards in waves of succession[00:00:12]
Drawing lines of grey across the sky[00:00:16]
With history just as close as a hand on the shoulder[00:00:19]
In hunger and impatience we cry[00:00:23]
The battle against corruption rages in each corner[00:00:27]
There must be something better something pure[00:00:30]
And the call it is answered from the caves to the cities[00:00:34]
Come the dealers of salvation on earth[00:00:37]
We've seen the restless children at the columns[00:00:55]
Come to purify the future with the arrogance of youth[00:00:59]
Nothing is as cruel as the righteousness of innocents[00:01:03]
With automatic weapons and a gospel of the truth[00:01:06]
Revolution forever succession of the seasons[00:01:10]
Within the blood of nature all raised to rot and die[00:01:17]
This purity purity is a lie[00:01:24]
Now immaculate conception in sterilized laboratories[00:01:42]
How the vanity goes on[00:01:46]
Or in the message of the preacher with his morals and obsessions[00:01:49]
The wars that we wage upon ourselves[00:01:52]
Purity is a virtue purity is an angel[00:01:56]
Purity is for madmen to make fools of us all[00:02:00]
So forgive yourself my friend all this will soon be over[00:02:03]
What happened here tonight is nothing at all[00:02:07]
Revolution forever succession of the seasons[00:02:11]
Within the blood of nature all raised to rot and die[00:02:18]
This purity purity is a lie[00:02:25]
I will always see Brendan at that broken down piano[00:02:43]
His fingers thick and red shaking on the keys[00:02:47]
Battered by the years of alcohol and working[00:02:50]
Still playing with the faith that never leaves[00:02:54]
So sit us down buy us a drink tell us a good story[00:02:57]
Sing us a song we all know to be true[00:03:01]
I don't give a d**n that I never will be worthy[00:03:05]
Fear is the only enemy that I still know[00:03:09]
