Smith, Patti - Radio Baghdad Lyrics

SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE PRESERVED AS RELIC OF THe PAST!!!!

""YOUR SONGs STILL SOUND AS REVOLUTIONARY""!!!!

ya know.....her band is frickin incredible!!!

the only radio i herd in Baghdad was not like this...

Thank You Patti!

te amo.

I get the gist. But, perhaps Springsteen can simplify: 'Because the Bahgdad'.

This made me cry, so painfully beautiful horrible to know my government robbed the cradle of civilization. The million murdered in the cradle!

we all love Her...Shakespeare's Sister.... some misplaced Joan of Arc in the wrong century

Excellent!

sometimes, usually when I'm sitting on the toilet bowl, while I eject a piece of shit by a kilo, I think the Yankees do wars, to make songs against the war

I love it

Man is no different in any formation or time. Man creates through destruction, and works to destroy. The spirit of man is thus.

I was not familiar with this. I feel like I should be. I feel emotions like Velvet Underground gave me. It's great.

Apparently this has been given as an option for prison torture in the U.S.. can't imagine why 🤔

Will you please dedicate this song to Gareth Rees!! thanks. love the song.

Daniel Rees Little late to dedicate it to anyone yeah?

Baghdad

Did anyone get the "Sifir nought" allusion? "Sifir" is Arabic for "zero". And nought, well... So suffer not means zero zero. The depth of this song is unfathomable. My favority PLS track.

The Indians figured out the concept of "zero", and called it "sunya". It spread from there into the Middle East and finally into Europe. The Mayan "zero" was an isolated discovery, making it all the more brilliant, but it remained isolated until the collapse of the Mayan civilization.

Did not think I could love this song even more. Thanks!

The killer awoke before dawn he put his boots on and walked on down the hall...

….this is the end my beautiful friend

"Radio Baghdad"

Suffer not Your neighbor's affliction
Suffer not Your neighbor's paralysis
But extend your hand Extend your hand
Lest you vanish in the city And be but a trace
Just a vanished ghost And your legacy
All the things you knew Science, mathematics, thought
Severely weakened Like irrigation systems
In the tired veins forming From the Tigris and Euphrates
In the realm of peace All the world revolved
All the world revolved Around a perfect circle
City of Baghdad City of scholars
Empirical humble Center of the world
City in ashes City of Baghdad
City of Baghdad Abrasive aloof

Oh, in Mesopotamia Aloofness ran deep
Deep in the veins of the great rivers
That form the base Of Eden
And the tree The tree of knowledge
Held up its arms To the sky
All the branches of knowledge All the branches of knowledge
Cradling Cradling
Civilization In the realm of peace
All the world revolved Around a perfect circle
Oh Baghdad Center of the world
City of ashes With its great mosques
Erupting from the mouth of god Rising from the ashes like
a speckled bird Splayed against the mosaic sky
Oh, clouds around We created the zero
But we mean nothing to you You would believe
That we are just some mystical tale We are just a swollen belly
That gave birth to Sinbad, Scheherazade We gave birth
Oh, oh, to the zero The perfect number
We invented the zero And we mean nothing to you
Our children run through the streets
And you sent your flames Your shooting stars
Shock and awe Shock and awe
Like some, some Imagined warrior production
Twenty-first century No chivalry involved
No Bushido

Oh, the code of the West Long gone
Never been Where does it lie?
You came, you came Through the west
Annihilated a people And you come to us
But we are older than you You come you wanna
You wanna come and rob the cradle
Of civilization And you read yet you read
You read Genesis You read of the tree
You read of the tree Beget by god
That raised its branches into the sky Every branch of knowledge
Of the cradle of civilization

Of the banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates
Oh, in Mesopotamia Aloofness ran deep
The face of Eve turning What sky did she see
What garden beneath her feet The one you drill
You drill Pulling the blood of the earth
Little droplets of oil for bracelets Little jewels
Sapphires You make bracelets
Round your own world We are weeping tears
Rubies We offer them to you
We are just Your Arabian nightmare
We invented the zero But we mean nothing to you
Your Arabian nightmare

City of stars City of scholarship
Science City of ideas
City of light City
City of ashes That the great Caliph
Walked through His naked feet formed a circle
And they built a city A perfect city of Baghdad
In the realm of peace And all the world revolved
And they invented And they mean nothing to you
Nothing to you Nothing

Go to sleep Go to sleep my child
Go to sleep And I'll sing you a lullaby
A lullaby for our city A lullaby of Baghdad
Go to sleep Sleep my child
Sleep Sleep...
Run Run...

You sent your lights Your bombs
You sent them down on our city Shock and awe
Like some crazy t.v. show

They're robbing the cradle of civilization
They're robbing the cradle of civilization
They're robbing the cradle of civilization

Suffer not The paralysis of your neighbor
Suffer not But extend your hand

“Baghdad"

i am dissapointed there is no lyrics

Perhaps “impromptu?”

Read the description sometime

Patti, unabashedly herself!!!! Boy cried WOLF. I cried Patti.

awesome

Lembra os tempos da Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix e companhia. Os anos de ouro dos hippies, dos livres pensadores e do início da verdadeira liberdade e emancipação das mulheres. Belo som.

I still love this woman, since 30 years
