Amid the rumours and the expectations
and all the stories dreamt and lived
Amid the clangour and the dislocation
and things to fear and to forgive
Don't forget

where the wild-eyed Cossacks ride

Anger drips and pools and then it pa**es
And I say a prayer that I

about delight
Y know what I'm saying to you
Don't forget
about delight
Y know
