Colony
(The first two verses on the Closer version are as follows: )
A cry for help, a hint of anaesthesia
The sound from broken homes - we used to meet always here
As he lays asleep she takes him in her arms
Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm
A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye
Hands him the bag she packed - a tear she tries to hide
A cruel wind that howls down to our lunacy
And leaves him standing cold here in this colony
(The first two verses on the Peel version are as follows: )
A cry for help, a hint of anaesthesia
The sound from broken homes - we used to meet always here
I watched all hell break loose, confined and unprepared
Is this what life's about - is this the dream we share?
Can you help me - can you spare some time?
No apologies for all these thoughts of mine
I hope to find some friends to maybe lead astray
To wake this dormant sleep - to tread on father's grave
(The two versions converge for the remainder: )
I can't see why all these confrontations
I can't see why all these dislocations
No family life, this makes me feel uneasy
Stood alone here in this colony
In this colony --
God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand --
In this colony --
