Legend-Roy Harper

[ti:Legend] [ar:Roy Harper] [al:Return Of The Sophisticated Beggar] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Legend - Roy Harper [00:14.65]I heard the song birds singing in the trees above my bed [00:20.04] [00:22.23]In the valley of the shadow of the sea of living dead [00:27.58] [00:30.19]I see the same old smells aboard my ship of shapelessness [00:35.10] [00:40.66]Meandering suspended in amorphous tastelessness [00:47.72] [00:57.11]I hear the happy people striking down their matchless road [01:02.44] [01:05.02]The false teeth and the cologne partly sharing half the load [01:10.29] [01:12.56]I know I cannot ask them so I leave their eyes to say [01:17.80] [01:23.88]I know the way to mount street but I just don't know the way [01:28.94] [01:38.96]I see the hollow buildings hanging in the winter sun [01:44.07] [01:46.78]Throwing empty shadows that hide the hollow men [01:52.18] [01:54.12]The world just isn't real it's built on endless timeless time [01:59.94] [02:05.81]On land marks in the desert wastes of multicoloured crime [02:10.80] [02:20.61]The maps stuck in the tube trains will tell you where are you going [02:26.44] [02:28.20]They'll also tell you pathetically everything worth knowing [02:33.63] [02:35.47]So if anybody asks me I'd say take a few salt sodas [02:41.56] [02:47.16]If you don't you stand the dirty change of dying stone cold sober [02:52.52] [03:01.94]And as I hear you breathing life's last distant compliment [03:07.39] [03:09.69]I know I can't have said much of what I really meant [03:14.74] [03:17.08]The sky desolates the sky and the snowflakes face to face [03:23.14] [03:28.93]And everything is just everything because everything just is
