waterboys – let it happen lyrics
such a sad procession
winding down the lane
and what a strange impression
is branded on my brain, a band was playing, endless, mindless
it was like a hooligan’s lament
it was dumb, but it was timeless
i still don’t know what it meant, and whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all i am protected
grace is effected over me, behold the lights of london
the skipper said that his hands shook
his aura eaten by his jealously
and all the drugs he
took, he said, “this is the real world buddy
toughen up your -ss, or it’ll break”
i said, “i’m not your buddy, buddy
and your real world is a fake”, here comes the peace campaigner
she says the end justifies her means
her words so full of reason fell
like napalm on my dreams, i said, “peace is not a word, never”
she calls me traitor, i just grin
i said, “you’ve gotta live it every moment
or else you’re just sucking wind”, and whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all i am protected
grace is effected over me, the dj casts his malediction
as the wedding guests appear
it was as cruel as any fiction
i still carry the souvenir, the dj took his vengeance
as the wedding guests arrived
there was malice in his handshake
quicksand in his eyes, as he slunk across the courtyard
from far off i heard a h-rn
somewhere in the bleak mid-distance
something beautiful is born, and whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all i am protected
grace is effected over me, i stumbled down a street of shadows
a black alleluia split the night
unverified and priests were playing strip jack
underneath the cruel lamplight, i came upon a weeping soldier
he said, “i’m all washed up now, huh”
but when i glanced across his shoulder
he held a royal flush, and whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all i am protected
grace is effected over me, i’m still here, i’m still wheeling
i’m who i thought i was, or just about
i’ll be walking down this boulevard
until my legs give out, thoughts like storms and seas are raging
i know it is a matter of degree
but it’s not the world outside that’s changing
it’s me, and whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all i am protected
grace is effected over me, over me, over me
over me, over me
over me, over me
grace is effected over me, - waterboys lyrics Tag : Lyrics
