Tonart: D minor•
Verse 1
Dm
The epileptic vision
of the human tide of weakness
D

Gm

Dm
D
Dm
I'll sing you a song
of a man
C
Dm
who lived not very far from here
He was born at the end
of the Second War,
if you'll give or take a year
His face is known to all of you,
C
Dm
but his name I can't divulge
D
So consider him a unit of
C
Dm
the population boss
D
Dm
He grew out of the settling dust
C
Dm
when the bombs had ceased to fall
He played upon the graves
F
Dm
and never realized at all
To resurrect a nation,
C
Dm
people sweated and they sinned
But a limbless man on paper legs
C
Dm
D
will tumble in the wind
Turn around stranger,
C
D
it's your face in the glass
D
C
D
and pick the pieces from the ground
D
C
stranger turn around
C
D
Dm
and pick the pieces from the ground
In a calm, uncertain stillness
C
we clumbered through the dust
Dm
To conceive the transformation
F
Dm
politicians promised us
D
Dm
They put their weapons in their mouth
C
so to see throughout the land
Dm
Built a kingdom like an heiress
C
Dm
with the ration book in her hand
He grew into a world
D
C
where escape was held supreme
Dm
Into the land of alcohol
F
and the television dream
Dm
Out from the womb of eternal peace
C
Dm
into the stranger's bed
To rid himself of the reason
C
Dm
D
why the blood of youth was shed
Turn around stranger,
C
D
it's your face in the mirror
D
C
D
and pick the pieces from the floor
D
C
stranger turn around
C
D
Dm
and pick the pieces from the ground
The ideals of our promised land
C
Dm
were trampled to the ground
And in their place
the weeds of power
F
Dm
and wealth were to be found
But the image of the Patriots
C
Dm
still swells the hearts of men
For the freedom to destroy ourselves
C
Dm
we'll fight, and fight again
But the people grew unsettled
C
with the age of the spoon -fed mind
Dm
And the quiet revolutions
F
came to edify the blind
Dm
They rebelled into conformity
Dm
And now he walks the path
C
Dm
of a man he once himself despised
C
D
it's your face in the glass

Verse 5
He searches through the city streets
C
Dm
for a face he used to know
He listens through the traffic
F
Dm
for a voice from long ago
He's paused the face so many times
Dm
A vision of his loneliness
D
C
Dm
reflected in his eyes
D
Turn
