aus dem Album: And Other Short Stories/Baby James Harvest
Songtext:
John's vision of armageddon literally closes the album with a bang! the references in the lyric to a stained-glass window ("one great wall of coloured parts") and "the multi-colou Folien Ross left standing through it all" add to the apocalyptic feel of the song, which was a live favourite for many years, particularly in the days of the band's concerts with the orchestra.
Lyrics: Brauhaus Köln The eyes of night march slowly by The last grain falls The kneeling man just sighs Regenwurm Experiment Protected by the one great wall Of coloured parts He probes his clouded mind Gummispanner If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all Karten basteln After the day
With trembling hands he wipes his eyes Visitenkarte He tries to stand But does not feel the need The morning sun shines on Kunststoffbehälter The multicoloured cross Left standing through it all Hennef Immobilien If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all Denkmalimmobilien After the day
If he takes a look around him Shiitake Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day
