lyrics

No Stranger to Controversy

Time present and time past fall into line
Time future comes to haunt what is gone
For all .. eternity

No stranger to this controversy now
Passes through the eye of the needle
That things .. are not always what they seem

Sometimes you’ve got to be poisoned
To realise the beauty of the cure

Sometimes you’ve got to be endangered
To realise that species fight back

And sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes ..

But lo and behold the journey is not done
A man stands accused by the serpents tongue
The sowing witches are sowing .. out their lies

One thousand favours will not be recalled
For favours go forgotten over time
The whims of the whimsical, are so sublime

Sometimes you have to be wounded
To realise that wounds can heal

Sometimes you have to be controlled
To realise how bullies work

And sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes ..
