Luyện nghe bài hát This Strange Engine

There was a boy who came into world
At the of a holy woman in a holy place
He a red coat and walked a bulldog
Saw reflected in the mirror of the lakes

Lived in the shadow of the
With the smells of
Dusty old and the polished wood of his bed

No more a baby feeding swans on the river
the hands of his mother
And the wax bag of yesterday's bread

And his father on the other side of the
On the ship's railings and some far tide
With the dry tear of home thoughts from abroad
In his far away eyes, in his far eyes

The of the wax on the wooden floor
of polish and soap
No children to or to play with
Rows of empty hooks for the

An upright piano and the boys in the
Still him of just before he was born
Remind him of just he was breathing
misty visions of God

Turn the cities families, into villages of souls
Hovering in the air they're sleeping
With their invisible
Send to me the of Christmas
Whispering, "You're the one"

And ever I was a boy
I never felt I belonged
Like everything did to me
Was an to see

How I would with the illusion?
In which would I jump
Would I do it all the
As the actors in the

Or would I spit it at them
And not get up in their rules?
And live to my own
And not be used, not be

To find the truths
It was to take some time
Thirty five summers the line

The wisdom of each passing
Seems to only to confuse
Seems to serve to confuse

Daddy out the navy and took us
Away to his dirty gray
And he worked down on a mine for National Service
So that he could be

There was a magical purple in the
Of the of his Triumph motorbike
And a warmth of oil and and the thrill
Of the hard corner tight

From the horizon came home from the navy to the
From the horizon to buried
Took his underground
Buried his in his faraway eyes

And one day as the boy lay
In the sunshine of a remembered afternoon
A cloud of with no particular aim and no brain
Found the boy, decided that his had come

Came down out of the sky, him in the face
Again and again, blue pain, screaming baptism
Intravenous Jesus being chosen
Something no brain, blue pain
It's happening again, happening again

Oh, Mummy, Daddy, will you sit a while me?
Oh Mummy, Daddy, will you jog my
Tell me tall of Montego Bay, table mountain
Flying fish, banana spiders, of paint

And the sun on the
Setting an ember thrown to deep water
crimson to black
But coming back tomorrow on the

The blue pain fades to a
it doesn't fade, it stayed blue
And stirred his red coat heart to strange engine
This love, love

This love, this
Blind, blood-diamond, this

This love, blind, blood-diamond
This I don't understand
That knows no faith and
And and tries again

at the sea
The night's dark
For one last time and
And and dies for you

And and is to blame
And is
And is not the
And is true, is
Is true, is true and
[Incomprehensible] Is
