My Wild Golden Year

from The Least Banquets by Sleeping Bulls

/

lyrics

Christ was a soldier
In an army of love
And he paid for the jackal horde
As he paid for the dove

Tell me where is that holy man
Tell me where is the king
In the wheels of progress or in the dour polluted stream

In a Chinese temple garden
Your best friend’s a cigarette
Tiny tower of opulence ‘neath
The tower of regret

Tell me where is my diamond stair
Tell me where's heaven’s rope
Tell me where are my countrymen
Tell me where is my dope

Well we once knew fortune on a tireless plane
Now we’re tired ourselves and demurred on a shitty Belfast train

Tell where is my continent
Tell me where is my cheer
Have I lost it all for nothing in my wild golden year!
