Roger Hodgson - Fool's Overture lyrics

(Churchill's famous speech) We shall go on till the end, we shall fight on the seas and oceans We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be We shall never surrender History recalls, how great the fall can be While everybody's sleeping The boats put out to sea Borne on the wings of time It seems the answers were so easy to find Too late the prophets cry The island's sinking, let's take to the sky Called the man a fool Stripped him off his pride Everyone was laughing Up until the day he died Ooh though the wound went deep Still he's calling us out of our sleep My friends, we're not alone He waits in silence to lead us all home So you tell me that you find it hard to grow Well I know, I know, I know And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow Well I know, I know, I know (distant choir sings 'Jerusalem' almost inaudibly) And was the Holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? Dreamer... Can you hear what I'm saying? Can you see the parts that I'm playing? Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie So you found your solution What would be your last contribution? Live it up and rip it up and why so lazy? Give it out and dish it out and let's go crazy, yeah
