Wootton Bassett Town - Ian Anderson[00:00:00]

Hourglass sands run through my veins[00:00:29]

Like blood draining from a salty wound [00:00:33]

Mad Mars forgets the cost of strife [00:00:37]

Serves no longer purpose in my life [00:00:41]

I lie in sweat cry others' tears[00:00:45]

And write a letter to my Mum [00:00:50]

My wife my God unheard unseen [00:00:55]

Who never thinks to intervene [00:01:01]

Oh what pain and oh what lie has[00:01:16]

Called to us from heaven on high[00:01:20]

This cruel and harsh sweet punishment[00:01:23]

For follies acted leaves us spent [00:01:27]

Long road to Baghdad [00:01:31]

Then Persian hordes[00:01:33]

Where will we stop to[00:01:37]

Sheath our swords[00:01:39]

IEDs lie patient sleeping [00:01:42]

Wake when soldier boots come creeping [00:01:48]

Hourglass sands run through[00:02:34]

My veins like blood draining[00:02:37]

From a salty wound [00:02:39]

Mad Mars forgets the cost of strife [00:02:41]

Serves no longer purpose in my life [00:02:45]

Down this dusty scorched wind blast track [00:02:49]

Eyes facing forward ne'er look back [00:02:53]

As rain comes down on[00:02:57]

Wootton Bassett Town black hearses[00:02:59]

Crawl and church bells sound [00:03:02]

Bikers burghers line the kerbs;[00:03:05]

A politician a Highness Royal [00:03:11]

Chance shoppers tradesmen [00:03:16]

Stiffly stand and shed their[00:03:19]

Tears for the military man[00:03:23]
