New Model Army - I Love The World Lyrics






The roll of distant thunder breaks, the afternoon of silence wakes
They hurry through from Petergate as if they know this dance
In fury blind, I drive at night across the moors, the open roads
Beneath the freezing starry skies, racing in some trance
These cities are illusions of some triumph over Nature's laws
We've seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust
And as the waters rise, it seems we cling to all the rootless things
The Christian lies, technology, while spirits scream and sing
Oh God I love the world
I love the world...

Well I never said I was a clever man but I know enough to understand
That the endless leaps and forward plans will someday have to cease
You blind yourselves with comfort lies like lightning never strikes you twice
And we laugh at your amazed surprise as the Ark begins to sink
This temple that is built so well to separate us from ourselves
Is a power grown beyond control, a will without a face
And watching from outside I wish that I could wash my hands of this
But we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace
Oh God I love the world
I love the world...

And if one day the final fire explodes across the whitened sky
I know you've said you'd rather die and make it over fast
With courage from your bravest friends, waiting outside for the end
With no bitterness but an innocence that I can't seem to grasp
I know somehow I will survive - this fury just to stay alive
So drunk with sickness, weak with pain, I can walk the hills one last time
Scarred and smiling, dying slow, I'll scream to no one left at all
I told you so, I told you so, I told you so
Oh God I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I told you so

    One of the best gigs I ever saw was NMA touring this album

    M.... R....

    Me too. Although I distinctly remember Moose and I getting completely trashed after the gig on vodka...LOTS of vodka. At least we didn't do it before the gig LOL. Really nice guys, and the live shows? A visceral experience. All those people there, arms around each other, sitting on each others' shoulders, knowing all the words and singing along as one. Such a feeling of family. All us misfits had found a home!

    M.... R....

    Militia Always. Family Forever.
