[00:00.00]
[00:08.82]I went out walking the other day
[00:10.87]The wind hung wet around my neck
[00:12.94]My head it rung with screams and groans
[00:15.88]From the night I spent amongst her bones
[00:19.87]I passed beside the mission house
[00:22.92]Where that mad old buzzard, the reverend,
[00:25.04]Shrieked and flapped about life after your dead
[00:28.95]Well, I thought about my friend, Michel
[00:30.96]How they rolled him in linoleum
[00:33.98]And shot him in the neck
[00:35.98]A bloody halo, like a think-bubble
[00:38.05]Circling his head
[00:40.14]And I bellowed at the firmament
[00:42.11]Looks like the rains are hear to stay
[00:49.11]And the rain pissed down upon me
[00:50.19]And washed me all away
[00:52.16]Saying
[00:53.22]Papa won't leave you, Henry
[00:54.26]Papa won't leave you, Boy
[00:57.27]Papa won't leave you, Henry
[00:59.29]Papa won't leave you, Boy
[01:01.29]Well, the road is long
[01:02.26]And the road is hard
[01:03.30]And many fall by the side
[01:09.33]But Papa won't leave you, Henry
[01:14.38]So there ain't no need to cry
[01:15.41]And I went on down the road
[01:16.40]He went on down the road
[01:18.65]And I went on down the road
[01:20.67]He went on down the road
[01:22.71]Well, the moon it looked exhausted
[01:24.72]Like something you should pity
[01:26.70]Spent an age-spotted
[01:28.81]Above the sizzling wires of the city
[01:30.75]Well, it reminded me of her face
[01:32.82]Her bleached and hungry eyes
[01:35.78]Her hair was like a curtain
[01:37.75]Falling open with the laughter
[01:40.92]And closing with the lies
[01:42.80]But the ghost of her still lingers on
[01:43.87]Though she's passed through me
[01:45.85]And is gone
[01:50.90]The slum dogs, they are barking
[01:52.86]And the rain children on the streets
[01:55.92]And the tears that we will weep today
[01:57.96]Will all be washed away
[02:03.01]By the tears that we will weep again tomorrow
[02:06.03]Papa won't leave you, Henry
[02:10.04]Papa won't leave you, Boy
[02:12.02]Papa won't leave you, Henry
[02:14.05]Papa won't leave you, Boy
[02:16.08]For the road is long
[02:18.06]And the road is hard
[02:19.06]And many fall by the side
[02:24.13]But Papa won't leave you, Henry
[02:26.05]So there ain't no need to cry
[02:28.20]And I went on down the road
[02:30.21]He went on down the road
[02:32.20]And I went on down the road
[02:35.20]He went on down the road
[02:50.33]And I came upon a little house
[02:52.27]A little house upon a hill
[02:58.27]And I entered through, the curtain hissed
[03:01.28]Into the house with its blood-red bowels
[03:03.33]Where wet-lipped women with greasy fists
[03:05.38]Crawled the ceilings and the walls
[03:10.25]They filled me full of drink
[03:11.37]And led me round the rooms
[03:13.38]Naked and cold and grinning
[03:16.53]Until everything went black
[03:18.52]And I came down spinning
[03:22.50]I awoke so drunk and full of rage
[03:24.54]That I could hardly speak
[03:27.48]A fag in a whale-bone corset
[03:28.52]Draping his dick across my cheek
[03:31.51]And its into the shame
[03:32.60]And its into a guilt
[03:33.58]And its into the fucking fray
[03:39.60]And the walls ran red around me
[03:41.59]A warm arterial spray
[03:42.55]Saying
[03:43.61]Papa won't leave you, Henry
[03:45.62]Papa won't leave you, Boy
[03:47.66]Papa won't leave you, Henry
[03:49.73]Papa won't leave you, Boy
[03:51.70]Well, the night is dark
[03:53.66]And the night is deep
[03:54.68]And its jaws are open wide
[03:59.66]But Papa won't leave you, Henry
[04:01.72]So there ain't no need to cry
[04:03.74]And I went on down the road
[04:05.74]He went on down the road
[04:08.84]And I went on down the road
[04:10.77]He went on down the road
[04:17.78]It's the rainy season where I'm living
[04:18.83]Death comes leaping out of every doorway
[04:21.80]Wasting you for money, for your clothes
[04:23.89]And for your nothing
[04:25.85]Entire towns being washed away
[04:27.94]Favelas exploding on inflammable spillways
[04:29.87]Lynch-mobs, death squads, babies being born without brains
[04:33.93]The mad heat and the relentless rains
[04:37.90]And if you stick your arm into that hole
[04:40.98]It comes out sheared off to the bone
[04:44.96]And with her kisses bubbling on my lips
[04:46.97]I swiped the rain and nearly missed
[04:54.04]And I went on down the road
[04:56.12]He went on down the road
[04:57.10]Singing
[04:58.09]Papa won't leave you, Henry
[05:00.06]Papa won't leave you, Boy
[05:02.10]Papa won't leave you, Henry
[05:04.06]Papa won't leave you, Boy
[05:06.13]Well, the road is long
[05:07.11]And the road is hard
[05:09.13]And many fall by the side
[05:14.19]But Papa won't leave you, Henry
[05:16.23]So there ain't no need to cry
[05:18.17]And I went on down the road
[05:20.20]He went on down the road
[05:22.31]And I went on down the road
[05:24.26]He went on down the road
[05:27.20]Bent Beneath my heavy load
[05:30.30]Under his heavy load
[05:31.28]Yeah, I went on down the road
[05:33.43]Yeah, he went on down the road
