Fool's Overture - Supertramp

(Churchill's famous speech)

[We shall go on till the end, we shall fight on the seas and oceans. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.We shall never surrender.]

History recalls, how great the fall can be

While everybody's sleeping

The boat's put out to sea

Borne on the wings of time

It seems the answers were so easy to find

Too late the prophets cry

The island's sinking, let's take to the sky

Called the man a fool

Stripped him off his pride

Everyone was laughing

Up until the day he died

Ooh though the wound went deep

Still he's calling us out of our sleep

My friends, we're not alone

He waits in silence to lead us all home

So you tell me that you find it hard to grow

Well I know, I know, I know

And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow

Well I know, I know, I know

(distant choir sings 'Jerusalem' almost inaudibly)

[And was the Holy Lamb of Godon England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills?]

Dreamer...

Can you hear what I'm saying?

Can you see the parts that I'm playing?

Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie,

Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie

So you found your solution

What would be your last contribution?

Live it up and rip it up and why so lazy?

Give it out and dish it out and let's go crazy, yeah
