Amid the rumours and the expectations and all the stories dreamt and lived Amid the clangour and the dislocation and things to fear and to forgive Don't forget about delight Y know what I'm saying to you Don't forget about delight Y know Amid the post-ironic postulating and the poets' pilfered rhymes Meaning feels like it's evaporating Out of sight and out of mind Don't forget about delight Y know what I'm saying to you Don't forget about delight Y know Though you find yourself alone and stranded with no friend to take your side On the endless road afoot and empty-handed where the wild-eyed Cossacks ride Don't forget about delight Y know what I'm saying to you Don't forget about delight Y know Spring birds peck among the pressed-down gra**es Clouds like zeppelins cross the sky Anger drips and pools and then it pa**es And I say a prayer that I Don't forget about delight Y know what I'm saying to you Don't forget about delight Y know
