robert hallow and the holy men - the bell lyrics

Loading...

i walked out of bedlam
with a bell in my hand
and i rang like the told me love
i stood where they said to stand
there came round the corner
a horse and his car
and i hung round his neck like a rope made of stars

we jostled and journeyed
through streets made of light
i had them put in myself, my love
you know how i like it bright
the house where we stopped had its doors open wide
but with no great surprise
i found no one inside

and i climbed up the stairway
still ringing my bell
and i thought to myself how there’s more than one h+ll
there’s the one built for sinners
and one for bad sons
but the one that’s the loudest is all stuffed up with tongues

i laid out my papers
and climbed up the wall
and i clung there a’wondering just how i got so tall
and the words that i spread
on the sheets of our bed
have decided to stay there
and never get said
a shout from the window said the mob had arrived
and they clamoured to tell me all they had to confide
they spoke of spectre
inside my machine
but i laughed when i saw there was nought where they’d been

and the bell at my bedside
was broken in two
so i gathered my rifle, my belt and my boots
i stood and saluted like when i was a boy
in a moment of silence
for the h+ll that makes noise

i leapt through the window to quiet their fears
‘i’ll banish that ghost!’, i said
‘lest anyone hears’
the trees that were watching me whispered and shushed
they’d later debate if i jumped or got pushed

so i marched back to bedlam
with mud in my hands
to collect all the things that i’d need for my plan
but when all i found in those halls was a bell
i was far too polite to disturb those in h+ll

and it’s really a wonder
how i’m still alive
when there’s times i’m convinced
i’m at war with the sky
and there’s always too many
when just one’s a crowd
he built us another one
when h+ll got too loud
and he put me in charge of it
he put me in charge of it
he put me in charge of it
he put me in
