[00:00:00] A Question Of Sport - Martin Carthy

[00:00:09] Oh I am humanity cast in the flood

[00:00:12] Waive your liberty as I come among you

[00:00:15] I ride the ark on a sea of blood

[00:00:18] They call me the Great Azania

[00:00:21] I soared like the dove released in the air

[00:00:24] When they tossed me

[00:00:25] Through the window tied to a chair

[00:00:27] I landed in the middle of Trafalgar Square

[00:00:30] Come to visit all your bad dreams upon you

[00:00:33] Now the first that I met when I came into land

[00:00:36] Was the Grantham grocer's daughter

[00:00:39] She cried aloud

[00:00:40] How sorry I am

[00:00:42] There wasn't anybody here for to caught you

[00:00:45] She crooned in my ear like I knew she could

[00:00:48] Her Cabinet briefing on the misunderstood

[00:00:51] Bathed my wounds in my very own blood

[00:00:53] Calling on the world press to support her

[00:00:56] Oh the cameras rattled and the questions flew

[00:00:59] Everybody sang Rule Britannia

[00:01:02] Cabinet jumped up two by two

[00:01:05] Joining in with their own memoranda

[00:01:08] They went maximum leverage minimum force

[00:01:11] You get your dividend but you gotta stay the course

[00:01:14] They sang as they all trooped off to the house

[00:01:17] God save our gracious TINA

[00:01:41] Oh they knew by the bruising around my body

[00:01:44] I clearly was a threat to the nation

[00:01:47] They knew that menace to life and limb

[00:01:50] Was a matter of interpretation

[00:01:53] They had me down

[00:01:54] At the dog track running like a hare

[00:01:56] I was huge on the replay screens up there

[00:01:59] Crowds flung their hats in the air

[00:02:02] Marvelling at my acceleration

[00:02:04] Oh they heard me cry when I fell among thieves

[00:02:08] The billy club beat a tattoo on me

[00:02:11] Joined the brokers and crowded the eaves

[00:02:13] Jostling to get the best view of me

[00:02:16] They sang

[00:02:16] Suffer little children and

[00:02:18] See how they run

[00:02:19] As the tear gas flew and the sjamboks sang

[00:02:22] Still as the white-walled necklace burned

[00:02:24] They prayed out aloud for their piece of me

[00:02:29] Oh the birdmen of Pollsmoor ranged in the dark

[00:02:33] Rand man come to saddle up and ride them

[00:02:36] Birdmen of Pollsmoor built them an ark

[00:02:39] No divine telegram to guide 'em

[00:02:42] Rand man shouted rand man cajoled

[00:02:44] Did the township jive for photo call

[00:02:47] The words of the birdmen spangled the wall

[00:02:50] A weeping tear gas diadem

[00:02:52] He said I am humanity cast in the flood

[00:02:55] Waive your liberty as I come among you

[00:02:59] I ride the ark on a sea of blood

[00:03:01] They call me the Great Azania

[00:03:04] I soared like the dove released in the air

[00:03:07] You left me for dead at the foot of the stair

[00:03:10] And when I rise in the middle of Trafalgar Square

[00:03:13] Resurrection's all around you
