henry priestman – the sacred scrolls of pop lyrics
oh i went down to memphis to see what had become
of those little works of art that hung out there at the
sun
and i hit the motor city, i was looking for the scene
of the sound of soul that helped to fuel a million
teenage dreams
oh n-body could help me, they said they were all lost
to the bureaucrats and bean-counters that only count
the cost
no-one could save me, they said it was too late
but i’ll keep on keeping on until i reach heaven’s gate
oh i’m looking around, but i ain’t hit the spot
i need three minutes now that’ll make my heart stop
oh so tell me that it’s too late
it’s a race against the clock
but i’m still looking around
i’m searching for the sacred scrolls of pop
gonna keep on looking
so i sail on down the mersey to fee that beating heart
but i had to wade through heritage before my trip could
start
yet in the highlands and the valleys, in the urban
sprawl and smoke
there’s a torch held high and shining and while it
burns there’s still hope
oh i’m looking around, but i ain’t hit the spot
i’ve done thirty years now, there’s no way i can stop
oh so tell me that it’s too late
it’s a race against the clock
but i keep looking around
i’m searching for the sacred scrolls of pop
some say they crashed and burned, they met a sorry end
but i believe they’re out there and they will be found
again
i hear an old guitar and a battered tambourine
someone blowing harp and i feel i’m seventeen again
oh i’m looking around, but i ain’t hit the spot
i need three minutes now that’ll make my heart stop
oh so tell me that it’s too late
it’s a race against the clock
but i keep looking around
oh i’m looking around, but i ain’t hit the spot
i’ve done thirty years now, there’s no way i can stop
oh so tell me that it’s too late
it’s a race against the clock
but i keep looking around
i’m searching for the sacred scrolls of pop
i keep on looking
gonna keep on searching
gonna keep on looking
