Lyrics
See lyrics
section for the official album tracks.
Certain songs on the Royal Albert Hall double set are different from the lyrics on the albums. There are also two non-Spiritualized songs.
Here they are:
Oh Happy Day
(A cover of the popular gospel tune)
Oh happy day
Oh happy day
When Jesus walked
When Jesus walked
Oh when he walked
He washed my sins away
(This track is both the "intro" and the official track that concludes the album)
Walking With Jesus
(an old Spacemen 3 song from Perfect Prescription)
I walked with Jesus and he would say
Oh you poor child you ain't coming with me, no way
He found heaven on earth, he's gonna burn for your sins
But I think I'll be good company down there with all of my friends
Well I got around to thinking about what Jesus said to me
'Cause if Heaven's like this then that's the place to be
It's a long long time between now and my death
And I've gotta have my fun so I've chosen what's best
Well
Here it comes
Here comes the sound
The sound of confusion
So listen sweet lord forgive me of my sins
Cause I can't stand this life without all of these things
I know I've done wrong but I'm in heaven on earth
I know I've done wrong but I could have done ye (thee?) worse
Jesus please meet me at the center of the earth
Because these wings are gonna fail me
And I could've done ye worse.
Take Your Time
Take your time
And back up a little bit
Come on now people
Get yourselves out of it
No chains can hold you/me
No walls confine me
Come on now people
Come on and slide with me
'Cos I'm blind
But not as blind as you
And I'm sick
There's not a thing I want to do about it
But I'm dumb
But now I want to mouth off about it
Well I'm tired of it all
I guess that I am through with it all
Yeah, I'm tired of it all
I guess that I am through
Take good care of it babe
You know it's going slow but it's coming your way
You know we've been talking about a revolution but the air's so thin
and you're still polluting it
You know we keep talking but it's so frustrating
And you know we keep talking but there's no mistaking it so
Take good care of it babe
You know I've been saying this for too many days
And you know I've had about all I can take
But you know I've been thinking about not coming down
You know I've been thinking about not coming down...
Which he repeats several times over.
