AS A RULE
Like a pretty singing bird
Singing in a gilded, gilded cage of steel
Where monstrous eyes watch over careless dreams
We've brought upon ourselves
This little universe of suffering
Each day, every way, everything is difficult
Not an ounce of real pain
Not a moment of real laughter, only panic
On the lonely treadmill of the self
The mirror and the wall,
Nothing left at all
But designer chains,
And designer food,
And designer lives,
And, at special discount
Designer emptiness
Every day she goes across New York
On that subway,
Under concrete spires that scratch the clouds
Under needles of rain that scratch the skin
And scratch the textbook-faultless pain
The unreal pain within
And she married an English guy
Who'd left the green fields of empire for a New York city life
And compromised compassion for glory's rosy glow, on no, oh, no
And in their marriage bed they lay
Breathing the passionate sigh of love
But missiles streaked across the sky above
And black, and white, children played in parks
And women who never thought they'd learn to think
Hold babies in unbelieving arms
And forests become deserts, soil blown away,
And no-one understands the final violence
Wrought on that horrible day,
The gaunt and granite-melting destiny
Whilst choirs of angels weep for human kind
So blind, so weird, finally so uncool,
As a rule....as a rule....as a rule....

[The rap]
In the cold hard light of an icy dawn
The stranger raised the mace of doom
A starling prince - a virgin queen
An epitome - the living god
From here to there and back again
The angel path - the angel great
The violet glow - the violet hour
Across the moor in turning space
The starry sky - the night of time
The unburned coal - the salty earth
Forgotten love and endless hate
Redemption song and renaissance -
Child be sweet and child be good
Lazarus raised and Lazarus stood
Voice of djinn and crow of cock
Cuckoo spit and April’s rock
The word of power - the Subaru
The Pleiades - and Doctor Who
Invoke the rap - invoke the wrong
Invoke the real - invoke the strong
Expand your mind - fulfil your will
Bless the child - transcend the dirt
Defeat the hurt - become what may
The robe of red - the robe of blue
The robe of truth - the living will
And memory of the dead
