I'm Going Where the Suits Will Shine My Shoes - Leon Rosselson.mp3

[00:13.092]With his botle of wine, and his tarty old sheep,
[00:16.520]He guarded his patch down on union street,
[00:20.228]With his cardboard sign, which said "Thou shalt not kill",
[00:25.635]And the song that he sang, I remember it still:
[00:34.364]"I'm going where the suits will shine my shoes,
[00:38.848]Going where the fountains filled with booze,
[00:44.184]Going where the bankers beg for bread,
[00:47.831]To find a HOME, to rest my head,
[00:56.181]Take me where the lazy rivers flow,
[01:00.663]Take me where the lotus flowers grow,
[01:05.429]Lay me down beside the silver sea,
[01:09.634]And let the waves wash over me, wash over me."
[01:15.245]
[01:28.139]She was trapped in the checkout,
[01:29.825]Poured out of her brain, checkig the barcodes again and again,
[01:35.433]She suddenly screamed "This is driving me MAD",
[01:40.197]Then she sang in a voice ,(which) she didn't know that she had:
[01:48.886]"I'm going where the suits will shine my shoes,
[01:53.376]Going where the fountains filled with booze,
[01:58.145]Going where the bankers beg for bread,
[02:02.629]To find a HOME, to rest my head,
[02:10.205]Take me where the lazy rivers flow,
[02:14.703]Take me where the lotus flowers grow,
[02:19.187]Lay me down beside the silver sea,
[02:24.513]And let the waves wash over me, wash over me."
[02:36.855]
[02:44.428]In the battles of hell-men, a royal marine,
[02:48.361]Sick to the heart at the things he had seen,
[02:51.723]Knowing this war can never be WON,
[02:56.210]Sings to himself, as he lays down his gun:
[03:04.287]"I'm going where the suits will shine my shoes,
[03:09.060]Going where the fountains filled with booze,
[03:13.830]Going where the bankers beg for bread,
[03:18.032]To find a HOME, to rest my head,
[03:25.899]Take me where the lazy rivers flow,
[03:30.388]Take me where the lotus flowers grow,
[03:35.369]Lay me down beside the silver sea,
[03:39.570]And let the waves wash over me, wash over me."
[03:44.911]
[03:59.790]This song wasn't sung, by celebrity-stars,
[04:02.869]It was sung by the riff-raff, in back-streets and bars,
[04:06.797]The Lonely and lost, those who didn't belong,
[04:10.719]The jobless in jail, they were singing this SONG:
[04:19.696]"I'm going where the suits will shine my shoes,
[04:25.025]Going where the fountains filled with booze,
[04:28.111]Going where the bankers beg for bread,
[04:33.160]To find a HOME, to rest my head,
[04:39.622]Take me where the lazy rivers flow,
[04:43.840]Take me where the lotus flowers grow,
[04:48.331]Lay me down beside the silver sea,
[04:51.978]And let the waves wash over me, wash over me."
[04:57.307]
[05:09.100]They'll come from out of the dark, out from utter despair,
[05:13.027]Like a surge in the sea, into liberty squre,
[05:16.962]And the man with the SIGN which says "Thou shalt not kill",
[05:21.729]Will be leading them all, they'll be singing it still:
[05:29.589]"I'm going where the suits will shine my shoes,
[05:34.358]Going where the fountains filled with booze,
[05:38.575]Going where the bankers beg for bread,
[05:41.942]To find a HOME, to rest my head,
[05:49.515]Take me where the lazy rivers flow,
[05:54.009]Take me where the lotus flowers grow,
[05:58.501]Lay me down beside the silver sea,
[06:02.149]And let the waves wash over me, Let the Wild waveswash over me."
