Luyện nghe bài hát This Strange Engine

There was a boy who came this world
At the hands of a holy 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 of disinfectant
Dusty old and the polished wood of his bed

No more than a baby feeding on the river
Holding the hands of his
And the wax paper bag of yesterday's

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

The smell of the wax on the floor
Mixture of and soap
No to fear 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 before he was breathing
Strange misty of God

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

And since I was a boy
I never felt that I
everything they did to me
Was an to see

How I would cope the illusion?
In which would I jump
Would I do it all the
As the in the game?

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

To find the truths
It was going to take some
Thirty summers down the line

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

came out the navy and took us
Away to his dirty gray
And he worked down on a coal mine for National
So he could be around

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 holding tight

From the came home from the navy to the mine
From the to buried alive
his dream underground
Buried his treasure in his eyes

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

Came down out of the sky, stung him in the
and again, blue pain, screaming like baptism
Intravenous Jesus like being
with no brain, blue pain
It's happening again, happening again

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

And the sun on the
Setting like an thrown to deep water
From to black
But back tomorrow on the horizon

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

This love, this
Blind, blood-diamond, this

This love, this blind,
This puzzle I don't
That knows no faith and
And and tries again

at the sea
The night's deep
For one time and bleeds
And bleeds and for you

And and is to blame
And is
And is not the
And is true, is
Is true, is and lies
Is true
