Paul McCartney - Movement Iii - Crypt Lyrics
ShantyAnd so it was that I had grownInto a youth uncertain, thrownAmongst the lions and the lambs.To pass the time we watched the children dance.I used to come here when this place was a crypt.Now the music plays.Oh dont you sometimes wish theyd stick to the scriptAs the local preacher says.Rain from heaven will blessings bring,Behold the harvest grown. rIan from heaven falls down on you,But me, I feel alone.Preacher (sympathetically)Alone.ShantyAlone.PreacherIf they wont come to worshipGod in a churchSomething must be done.We have to instigate a nationwide searchFor a way to make it fun.Rain from heaven will blessings bring,Behold the harvest grown.Shanty and preacherRain from heaven falls down on you,ShantyBut me, I feel alone.Alone.Here now,What am I doing here now?Hear me,Why do you never hear me?Why do you never hear me?Mary dee (as half-ghost)Ill always be here.Ill never leave you.Ill always be in your mind.Dreams of the future,Ghosts of the past left behind.Womens chorus(ah)ShantyThought I had a visionLying in a graveyard,Thought I heard a melody inside.Could it be the future,Speaking with the voice of those who died?Thought I saw a kingdom,Happiness and laughter,Somewhere for an innocent to play.Is there any justice?Do these things still happen in this way?Mary deeDont tell him no,It isnt fair.For he was told by those who knowThere was love everywhere.ShantyLove everywhere.Mary deeNows the time to tell him,While his mothers crying.Break it to him gently as she weeps.Let him know his fatherWill be well looked after, where he sleeps.Chorus (ghosts)Hes sleeping amongst us.Hes in our dreams.Dont worry. hes with us now.ShantyDont say its so,It isnt fair.For I was told by those who knowThere was love everywhere.Alone.
