Construction Time Again

All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts and the definite lasts
That lay in store for me

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now i find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself

Consequently, i've a tendency to be unhappy
You see the thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds get to me

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now i find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself

All of these absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts and the certainties
That lay in store for us

There was a time
When all on my mind was love (love love love)
Now i find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself

Get out the crane
Construction time again
What is it this time

We're laying on a pipeline

Let the beads of sweat flow
Until the ends have met, though
It could take a long time

Working on a pipeline
Taking from the greedy, giving to the needy

On this golden day
Work's been sent our way
That could last a lifetime

Working on a pipeline

From the heart of the land
To the mouth of the man
Must reach him sometime

We're laying on a pipeline

Taking from the greedy, giving to the needy

Let's take a map of the world
Tear it into pieces
All of the boys and the girls
Will see how easy it is

To put it all down and start again
From the top to the bottom and then
I'll have faith, or i prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse

All that we need at the start's
Universal revolution (that's all)
And if we trust in our hearts
We'll find the solution's

To put it all down and start again
From the top to the bottom and then
I'll have faith, or i prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse

Took a plane across the world
Got in a car
And when i reached my destination
I hadn't gone far

Let's take the whole of the world
The mountains and the sand
Let all the boys and the girls
Shape it in their hands

To put it all down and start again
From the top to the bottom and then
I'll have faith, or i prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse

We're lying by the orange sky
Two million miles across the land
Scattered to the highest high
Expect they'll either laugh or cry

No sex, no consequence, no sympathy
You're good enough to eat

Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered

The dawning of another year
Marks time for those who understand
One in four still here
While you and i go hand in hand

No radio, no sound, no sin, no sanctuary
So welcome to your last

Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered

The sun, the solitude, the cemetery
So welcome to your last

Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered

The landscape is changing, the landscape is crying
Thousand of acres of forest are dying
Carbon copies from the hills above the forestline
Acid streams are flowing ill across the countryside

'cause i don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world

Now we're rearranging there's no use denying
Mountains and valleys can't you hear them sighing?
Evolution, the solution, almost certainty
Can you imagine this intrusion of their privacy?

'cause i don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world

Token gestures, some semblance of intelligence
Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance

'cause i don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
